"He Loves Me..." shows us about 30 minutes of a story involving a young woman in love with a married man from her perspective. Then the film rewinds (literally) and shows us the same story from the married man's perspective. Then it finishes with a less than satisfying denouement. A good production effort by most standards, "He Loves Me..." trades character depth for story and delivers its love triangle tale in an unnecessarily convoluted way for no reason other than novelty. A coulda, shoula been better flick with only a moderate level of appreciation from critics and public alike, "He Loves Me...." compromises its Frenchness. The French make great people films. This isn't one of them. (B-)
