Critics' reviews
- "For those who wish to decode 'The Names of Love', there's a sharp commentary on French prejudices, character types, history, and culture embedded in Michel Leclerc's droll autobiographical French comedy."
- "The American romantic comedy has grown distressingly moribund lately, but anyone looking to freshen up the genre a bit need look no further than Michel Leclerc's 'The Names Of Love'."
- "Leclerc and company manage to raise serious points and deliver intelligent laughs at the same time, which is no small feat."
- "Sharp-witted, sometimes surreal and largely autobiographical French-language comedy."
