- 83The PlaylistElla KempThe PlaylistElla KempMore than a sardonic subversion of the tropes we fall for time after time, Schrader’s thoughtful romantic study digs into mundane neuroses and existential fears with wisdom, and empathy, making sure to keep you guessing long after Alma and Tom have stopped gazing into each other’s eyes.
- 80VarietyGuy LodgeVarietyGuy LodgeTaking inspiration from a short story by German writer Emma Braslavsky, Schrader and co-writer Jan Schomburg serve up a rich panoply of questions, answers and stray ideas. Rarely are these assembled into neat combinations, even if the script veers too far into thematic explication in the final third.
- 80The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThe Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenThis is a comedy that finds poetry in unexpected places: the ancient cuneiform that Alma studies, and the invented past that Tom concocts to explain their romance. With sly humor and no small ache, I'm Your Man asks if we really want our fantasies to come true, and what happens when we fall in love.
- 80The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinA sensationally funny and gently science-fictional German rom-com.
- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawI was disappointed with a film whose crises and dilemmas seem laborious and essentially predictable; it does not fully work as sci-fi or satire or comedy.
