Trailer for Shall We Kiss?

Emmanuel Mouret's romantic comedy Shall We Kiss? begins with two strangers who end up attracted to each other, even though they both are involved in relationships with others. The woman refuses to kiss the man goodnight after a dinner together, explaining that a single kiss can alter a life. This set-up acts as a framing device for the main story, a tale she shares with him about friends who complicate their lives by becoming sexually involved.

  1. Positive review
    David Stratton, The Australian The quiet joys of Shall We Kiss? are to be found not only in the observational writing and the pitch-perfect performances but in the way the mood shifts from tantalising foreplay to more serious matters. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel More quirky than wacky, this winning comedy only hits its romantic high when we return to that framing story, the storyteller who won't casually kiss because she knows, damn well, there's no such thing as a casual 'French' kiss. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    David Stratton, At the Movies (Australia) The influence of Woody Allen is obvious, but Mouret -- though he overdoes the tics and hesitancies of his nervous lover -- manages to make this combination of humour, sex and pain all his own. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com Mouret is the cinematic offspring of Woody Allen and Eric Rohmer. From the former he takes the actor-director presenting himself as neurotic but satisfying lover; from the latter he absorbs the pleasure of extended talk. Mouret's talk is enjoyable, but i Full review External link
  5. Negative review
    Julie Rigg, MovieTime, ABC Radio National The film goes badly awry, I think. There is something coy and miscalculated about it all. Mouret is quite talented as an actor, but maybe it's time he found another writer. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Amy Wheeler, FILMINK (Australia) This is not your average romantic comedy. Shall We Kiss? simply delights. Full review External link
  7. Negative review
    Sandra Hall, Sydney Morning Herald [The] polite inquiry [of the title] pretty well sums up the tone of this featherweight ensemble comedy about French people falling in and out of love. Full review External link
