New York Daily News -
No other mainstream movie has so openly tackled the subject of female sexual experience.

Chicago Sun-Times -
I did not really enjoy this movie, and yet I recommend it. Why? Because I think it's on to something interesting. Here is a movie about a woman who never stops thinking. That may not be as good for you as it is for her.

New York Post -
Despite many flaws...Romance is unquestionably an important film.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
The movie is a footnote as well, a minor reference back to the days when people yearned for a cinema that was serious and erotic at the same time.

Boston Globe -
Lots of sex, but little joy.
