The New York Times
In Changing Times, Mr. Téchiné, the great French director, is near the peak of his form. Weaving a half dozen subplots, he creates a set of variations on the theme of divided sensibilities tugging one another into states of perpetual unrest and possible happiness. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
A thoughtful and reflective love story about the impact of time on true love. - 70
Variety
A Cathererine Deneuve-Gerard Depardieu vehicle that leaves ample room for interesting supporting characters, this moody, more-bitter-than-sweet ode to anxiety is intense adult fare reinforced by effective no frills lensing. - 67
The A.V. Club
There's something uniquely pleasurable about watching a director in total command of his craft, even when that craft is in service of a scattershot melodrama with pale intimations of social relevance. - 63
New York Daily News
There isn't a flicker of chemistry between these old pros in Andre Techine's peculiar melodrama. - 63
TV Guide Magazine
While incontrovertibly light compared to contemporary master of melodrama Andre Techine's best work, this 2005 romance is best enjoyed as the welcome reunion of two of French cinema's most beloved stars. - 50
Village Voice
If the title, knee-jerk cast, pop-song intro, and schmaltzy plotline of his new film Changing Times is any indication, he's (André Téchiné) now the French mainstream, the premier Gallic pilot of high-toned soap opera. - 50
Salon
It's kind of a mess. An agreeable, even lovable mess, but still a mess.
