Rating: A- --
A funny, energetic, comic-book-influenced film marked by saturated colors, theatrical sets, and middle-aged people acting like the lovelorn leads favored by Eric Rohmer.

Rating: 4/5 --
Life of Riley is a highly styled exercise from a master filmmaker, a bittersweet addendum to an impressive body of work.

4 stars out of 5 -- A final opportunity to see a master at work in this mischievously melancholic delight...
Total Film
As in all of Resnais's theatrical adaptations, the performances are warm and naturalistic, countering the artificiality of the stage conventions and illuminating the universal struggle to create personal meaning in lives bound by social convention.

[T]he movie’s conceptual and visual artificiality ends up foregrounding the reality of the narrative: the characters, their relationships, and their feelings. -- Grade: B
