Cycling with Moliere (15)

Comedy, Drama

Two actors. One play. Can the differences between the two egocentric men be put aside for the sake of friendship and theatre?


The critical consensus

It’s not a profound film, but the hamathon between old and new thespian styles is nicely observed, if forgettable.

***(*)(*)Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 29/06/2014

Beautifully performed by its two leads, Cycling With Molière is a comic treat.

****(*)David Parkinson, Empire Online, 30/06/2014

It's insubstantial, and its ending is not entirely satisfying, but it's a smart, literate picture that goes down very smoothly.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 03/07/2014

This is a French comedy with claws.

***(*)(*)Geoffrey MacNab, The Independent, 03/07/2014

A very civilised delight that is both funny and poignant.

****(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 04/07/2014

This French comedy about two thesps rehearsing The Misanthrope is frothy but enjoyable.
