Easily the best yet.
I relaxed and enjoyed it all.
Tres bonne.
Saw even more the second time.
Very French.
Very French, very deep, very moving, loved the music.
Thought provoking, brilliant acting.

Beautiful acting, miserable music.
How could he resist her?
He blew it.
Not one for old romantics.
Beauty, as a dazzling memento to music in a dream.

Drawn out, didn't like lack of coordination between instrumental playing and music.
So implausible.  I wish Auteuil would take up poker instead of trying to act.  Too many dinner tables.  In places sound track was ahead of film.
Much ado about very little.
Did anyone give a damn about these people.  Emotions ran from A to B.
