[Director Christophe] Honoré has proven you can make a movie musical in which style doesn’t upstage content -- a movie musical that blossoms from the inside out.
-- David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Evoke[s] another era of cinema, so that moviegoers with long memories may have the nicer ride.
-- Doris Toumarkine, Film Journal International
The love affairs of the film's characters aren't merely expressions of fluid sexual desire but an acknowledgement of the interconnectedness of human life.
-- Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
Are the characters completely believable? No. Are the feelings the characters talk and sing about pinpointed with a precision that seems to have become a Honoré trademark? Very much so.
-- Boyd van Hoeij, european-films.net
Plot:
The destinies of David, Alice and Julie. Julie and Ismael try to reignite their relationship by inviting Alice into their bed. In fact, they even end up singing about it. But eventually, things go awry and everyone is left at loose ends.

Looks GREAT! I want to see this one really badly, but obviously I'll be waiting for DVD because movies like this don't play here. So far it is 100% Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes.
