"Imbued with an airless blend of buoyant comedy and soap-operatic backstage drama..."

—

Slant Magazine

"As backstage movies go, this isn't as profound as Topsy Turvy but it's almost as much fun as Shakespeare in Love."

—

RogerEbert.com

""Cyrano, My Love" attempts to give the "Shakespeare in Love" treatment to the timeless French play "Cyrano de Bergerac," with shamelessly derivative yet undeniably entertaining results."

—

Variety

"[A] brisk, funny, sneakily poignant love letter to words, plays, playwrights and actors."

—

Los Angeles Times

"Concealing its lack of substance beneath a carapace of froth and a cascade of famous characters (with Clémentine Célarié making a magnificent Sarah Bernhardt), "Cyrano, My Love" trips along happily enough."

—

The New York Times

"Generally, Michalik manages to advance the various story strands persuasively, and with a lot of energy."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"This isn't strictly how the most widely performed French play of all time came to be, but filmgoers should be happy to buy into this fast-paced fantasy."
