Critical reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 90% of 69 reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.7/10. The site's critics' consensus reads: "The main character may be hard to like, but Anaïs in Love offers a well-acted and breezily humorous take on its admittedly well-worn themes."[4] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 73 out of 100, based on 18 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[5]

The film was a New York Times Critic's Pick. Manohla Dargis wrote that the movie seems straightforward, looking "clear and bright", and moving "as briskly as its protagonist, with the editing and lively music doing more conspicuous work than the discreet cinematography."[6] In a review for The Wrap, Katie Walsh wrote the style is as breathless and entertaining as the film's protagonist."[7] In a positive review for Indiewire David Ehrlich wrote "If anything, Bourgeois-Tacquet's debut comes off as a deliberate effort to wrench a proud Gallic tradition — manically effervescent movies about motor-mouthed young neurotics — away from the foreign cineastes who've co-opted it for the 21st century, and return it to home soil where it might reconnect with its roots."[8]
