San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle
Philippe Blasband's screenplay is witty and economical, and the film's editing is crisp.

Its ambiguity allows us the chance to provide our own satirical edge to the film.

The New York Times Dave Kehr
The film is full of ingenious details and effective character sketches (Thomas has a mother who would give Woody Allen the willies) that go a long way toward covering up its conventionalities.

Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
Starts gently, with amusing drollness, then gets more serious, even provocative, without sacrificing its light touch. This is very much a film with something on its mind.

Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
Great fun to watch, thoughtful and timely, Thomas in Love is likely to generate some decidedly interesting post-film conversations as well.

You'd think it would be boring to stare at Thomas's computer screen so intently for 97 minutes, but the movie is eerily riveting.

The movie, after a while, drifts into an all too literal parable of the limits of never leaving the house.

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
The movie itself isn't as interesting as the conversations you can have about it. It duplicates Thomas' miserable world so well we want to escape it as urgently as Thomas does.

TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The story is slight and would probably be better suited to a short subject, but first-time feature filmmaker Pierre-Paul Renders gives it a striking formal twist: It's told entirely in the first person.
