criticism

The literary critic Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv is completely enthusiastic about the film, which reads as follows: “'The smile of women', cast with great care down to the smallest roles, is a love film in the truest sense of the word - one sensual declaration of love to a city, to literature, to the medium of film, to a woman and to love itself. ”The film could not give you back your belief in great love, but it could give you the illusion of it without being“ cheesy to be "trivial or naive". Tittelbach emphasizes that Foroutan and Sadler are also “to fall in love with” in their roles.

TV Spielfilm, on the other hand, speaks of the fact that the film shows “a nice atmosphere, nice pictures and a very sympathetic cast who dance quickly through Paris and publishing clichés”, but that its fault is its “unoriginality”. Only one point out of a possible three was given for humor and tension (thumbs sideways) and the conclusion was drawn: "Paris and love, as expected: nice"

The Donaukurier strongly recommends those who like it “deeply romantic” to tune in.
