This genre-busting movie has the appearance of a love story but morphs into a thriller, told cleverly in a nonlinear style. Think "Sliding Doors" crossed with "The Sixth Sense," with a little "Memento" thrown in.

Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Movie-style romance may never look quite the same. Neither will flower petals.
Mercifully there's more Hitchcock than Lacan in this slickly enjoyable little number, which cannily plays off the ingénue image of "Amélie's" Audrey Tautou.
Dallas Observer by Gregory Weinkauf
Standing on its own, it's comme ci, comme ça, self-serious when it should be adventurous, coy when it should be revelatory. One must afford it props, though, for its proud celebration of insanity. Now that is truly creepy.
It's clever enough, but it's mostly a contrivance to hide the fact that there's nothing interesting about the story itself.
Washington Post by Michael O'Sullivan
May not change the world, but it's deeply creepy and richly satisfying.
Chicago Tribune by Michael Wilmington
Though I wouldn't call He Loves Me a total success, it's smart, intriguing and quite ambitious, a first film by a talented young filmmaker that displays superstar Tautou's gifts in an eerie new light.
Portland Oregonian by Shawn Levy
The film holds charms for everyone but in a very unusual way: If some audience members feel cheated at the halfway mark, others will feel that the film is finally getting started. Nifty!
Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
An interesting choice for a Valentine's Day outing, He Loves Me is a weird, bubbly cocktail -- effervescent charm and troubling pathology, shaken together.
Settles for the cliches of American suspense films, right down to an ending that leaves the door open to a possible sequel.
