Variety
Alain Gsponer’s well-crafted romantic comedy, glides along on the sheer power of rising German star Daniel Bruhl’s boyish charm. - 50
Village Voice
The appealing performances from Brühl and Herzsprung, as well as the film's surprisingly clean sense of composition...keep Lila, Lila moving. But it ultimately suffers from poor characterization. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
A fair-to-middling little date movie. - 40
The New York Times
The actors — the deft Mr. Brühl and the charming Ms. Herzsprung — add what levity they can.
