Christian Science Monitor
Movie-style romance may never look quite the same. Neither will flower petals. - 88
USA Today
This genre-busting movie has the appearance of a love story but morphs into a thriller, told cleverly in a nonlinear style. Think "Sliding Doors" crossed with "The Sixth Sense," with a little "Memento" thrown in. - 80
L.A. Weekly
Mercifully there's more Hitchcock than Lacan in this slickly enjoyable little number, which cannily plays off the ingénue image of "Amélie's" Audrey Tautou. - 80
Washington Post
May not change the world, but it's deeply creepy and richly satisfying. - 67
Portland Oregonian
The film holds charms for everyone but in a very unusual way: If some audience members feel cheated at the halfway mark, others will feel that the film is finally getting started. Nifty! - 63
Chicago Tribune
Though I wouldn't call He Loves Me a total success, it's smart, intriguing and quite ambitious, a first film by a talented young filmmaker that displays superstar Tautou's gifts in an eerie new light. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
An interesting choice for a Valentine's Day outing, He Loves Me is a weird, bubbly cocktail -- effervescent charm and troubling pathology, shaken together. - 60
The A.V. Club
It's clever enough, but it's mostly a contrivance to hide the fact that there's nothing interesting about the story itself.
