- 40VarietyRonnie ScheibVarietyRonnie ScheibUncomfortably confessional or wildly melodramatic plot twists work interestingly in the moment, but wobble in retrospect. Pic's overarching structure is further weakened by Schaeffer's half-hearted attempt to tie together loose ends.

- 25Slant MagazineDiego SemereneSlant MagazineDiego SemereneTaking the pedestrian and decidedly unsexy American male to Paris so he can become a sexual human being attuned to life's small pleasures is a tired device that perhaps only Woody Allen could possibly resurrect from the stinky pile of cinematic clichés.
- 20Time OutNick SchagerTime OutNick SchagerWhile it may make the City of Light look beautiful, ultimately, this insufferable indie auteur's navel-gazer is just another faux-kinky vanity project in which its creator's neuroses are placed on an undeserved pedestal.
- 20Village VoiceVillage VoiceSchaeffer can't be trusted or believed as a broken man - he's got no humility.
