Critic Reviews of "The Lover"
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000Annaud and his collaborators have got all of the physical details just right, but there is a failure of the imagination here; we do not sense the presence of real people behind the attractive facades of the two main actors.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Scratch away the steamy, evocative surface, remove Jeanne Moreau's veteran-voiced narration, and you have only art-film banalities.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Never mind that in portraying passion, the two seem to be demonstrating the proper use of the Salad Shooter.
EmanuelLevy.ComJanuary 24, 2007Too bad that the film is marred by the vices of international productions, as it deals with issues seldom shown in American movies, such as the power of sexuality.
Denton Record-ChronicleMarch 14, 2003Stylish if somewhat tedious study of a young Vietnamese woman who falls under the spell of an older dandy.
Internet ReviewsJanuary 01, 2000The worst part of the dialog is given to the writer. She has to say one pedantic line after another, and overall, the narrator's part is just too wordy.
Deseret News, Salt Lake CityJanuary 01, 2000The only moderately interesting scene here is a traditional Chinese wedding toward the end, which, of course, is cut short.
