It's a rebound-romance movie that's simplistic but sweet, an uncomplicated cinematic bonbon. It'll only take a few quick bites, however, before you'll be ready to move on to something meatier.

New York Daily News by Elizabeth Weitzman
Gently sweet but unmemorable bonbon.
Village Voice by Melissa Anderson
Tautou, playing workaholic widow Nathalie in Delicacy, gives off a sexless, cutie-pie charm - not as aggressively as she did in "Amélie," but still gratingly. The actress, therefore, is perfect for this dainty, inconsequential romantic dramedy.
San Francisco Chronicle by Mick LaSalle
The latest Audrey Tautou film, Delicacy, is sensitive and well acted and fits under the general category of "good movie," and yet it would be hard to get excited about it.
The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger
It's a lightweight romance that occasionally shows a sense of humor but seems afraid to turn it loose.
Slant Magazine by Nick Schager
Now that Zooey Deschanel has taken a detour into TV land, is Audrey Tautou the most insufferable pixy presence in cinema today?
The movie is caught between the poignancy of the everyday and the exaggerations of fiction.
The movie is a pleasant way to spend time in the dark, especially for Francophiles, but it won't leave any lasting impression.
