Amour met with widespread acclaim from critics. The website's critical consensus reads: "With towering performances and an unflinching script from Michael Haneke, Amour represents an honest, heartwrenching depiction of deep love and responsibility.

Writing for The Guardian after the Cannes screening, Peter Bradshaw said "this is film-making at the highest pitch of intelligence and insight", naming it the best film of Scott of The New York Times said that "months after its debut at Cannes this film already feels permanent.

The Wall Street Journal ' s film critic Joe Morgenstern wrote of Amour : "Mr. Haneke's film, exquisitely photographed by Darius Khondji, has won all sorts of prizes all over the world, and no wonder; the performances alone set it off as a welcoming masterpiece.

Among the few negative reviews, Calum Marsh of the Slant Magazine gave the film 2 out of 4 stars and indicated that the film "isn't the work of a newly moral or humanistic filmmaker, but another ruse by the same unscrupulous showman whose funny games have been beguiling us for years", adding that "Haneke's gaze, trained from an unbridgeable remove, carries no inflection of empathy; his style is too frigid, his investment too remote, for the world of these characters to open up before us, for their pain to ever feel like something more than functional.

Dec 01, Rachel Reads Ravenously rated it really liked it Shelves: new-adult-mania , romance. In a world of generic NA, these two writers are the diamonds in the rough of their genre.

As a reader, I know going into every single one of their books that I will be transfixed by the lives of their characters as if I knew them myself. Their books are unique, evoking, and beautiful.

Amour Amour is all of these things as well. Thora is a college student who decides to drop her entire l 4 Circus is Family stars So it's no secret that I have a giant literary girl crush on the Ritchie twins.

Thora is a college student who decides to drop her entire life in Ohio to go and audition for a Vegas stage show Amour, which is kind of like the Cirque de Solei shows.

Thora has risked her entire future on this audition, her scholarship, degree, friendships and her relationship with her family to pursue her dream.

On her first night in Vegas, she meets Nikolai, an alluring Russian. After quite the memorable meeting, Thora shows up to her audition and one of the judges is of course Nikolai.

Without spoiling much, Thora's audition doesn't go according to plan, but she remains in Vegas anyway. That's when Nikolai offers to train Thora.

I found this book to be very refreshing and remarkable. The strongest themes were self-discovery and to follow your dreams, and as cheesy as that sounds, it really wasn't.

Thora worked her ass off to be where she was, and she loved every second of it, the good and the bad.

One of my favorite parts of this book, and honestly my favorite aspects of all of these authors' books, is the side characters.

Many books and authors have side characters in the background for the majority of the book, someone waiting in the wings until their cue to help guide the main characters toward their climax book climax, stop thinking dirty things y'all.

The Ritchie twins do the opposite of this and give the reader incredibly well developed side characters, like anyone else you would be around in real life.

Their side characters are a huge part of why their books are so relatable, because you can actually feel surrounded by them as well.

My favorite side character was John. In a way, he kind of reminded me of Ryke from the Addicted series. A much bitchier and snarkier Ryke.

I also loved Nikolai's brothers and sister; their presence almost always bringing a smile to my face. The romance between Thora and Nikolai was really well done, I spent most of the book sighing inwardly at Nikolai and his sweet actions toward Nora.

But he was still an awesome alpha male, so don't go thinking he's a softy just yet. The romance was emotional, sweet and a little angsty which is exactly what I love.

If you haven't yet given the Ritchie twins' books a try yet, this one would be a great place to start. I would still recommend reading the Addicted series first as there are references in this book to that series and those little tidbits were amazeballs.

I loved this book and I loved it x more the second time around. Thora is my favorite NA heroine, Nik is my favorite NA hero, this is my favorite NA book hands down.

So thanks to my girl Jillian from bookishandnerdy to introducing me to Krista and Becca Ritchie. I have a video book review coming soon and will link it once I fin SECOND REVIEW: So I rated it a 5 the first time I read it and I just reread it and the rating still stands.

I have a video book review coming soon and will link it once I finish it. I really loved this book. This book is a love story set at a circus show in Las Vegas.

Goddamn, I was sold when I read the synopsis. Our main character Thora James, decides to drop out of her last year of college to chase her dreams to join the circus.

So she goes to Vegas for an audition. I freaking LOVED Thora. I related so so so much to this character, moreso than I ever had with another NA character.

I had so much endearment for her and wanted her to succeed and achieve her dreams because essentially, this chick is doing what I've been to scared to do since I graduated college a year ago.

So I just admired her, and loved being in her head. Nikolai is our male lead who is Russian and hot and tall and the star of one of the Vegas shows.

In short, I loved him. He also had so much responsibility that I loved seeing his relationship with his brothers and sister and the side characters were so on point, I fell in love with all of them.

I want books on top of books following the Kotova siblings. The cousins. The brothers we don't see who are traveling across Europe in a traveling show.

Give me everything, pls. And I am excited for the companion novel, INFINI, that the Ritchies announced recently. All up on that. The story went fast, in a good way, and I was so engrossed with everything that I couldn't read it fast enough.

The pacing went really well as did the development of the relationship which is something I always pay attention to when I am reading NA.

And I loved the development of Thora and Nikolai's relationship. I recommend this book for sure! View all 4 comments.

Oh my god, I can't believe I was actually scared that I wouldn't like this book! I seriously need to stop doubting authors that I love and have never steered me wrong.

This book was beautiful. The characters, the setting, the plot, everything about it made me fall in love and feel as if I were a part of the Las Vegas scene even though I've never been there before in my life.

I know a lot of people said the beginning was slow to them but for me, I was hooked from the very first page. I honestly feel like I can't even put my emotions into words right now but I just feel so lighthearted and happy it's all I can focus on.

I want to give a detailed review and rant about all my favorite parts but then I'd be spoiling it for everyone else ; I will admit at one point probably around the half way mark I think a little bit after , things got a little slow for me and I was getting so worried and being a bit dramatic, moaning and bitching to anyone who would listen.

My main problem and the reason for the half star deduction was that at times, things felt a bit repetitive.

Also at one time, I was a bit unsure about Nik and Thora's relationship and the connection that they had. I believed without a doubt that they cared for each other, but love?

I wasn't sure. I needed to see more, feel more and at one point I didn't feel like I was getting that. I wanted to see Nikolai vulnerable the way Thora seemed to always be to him.

At this point, I felt like maybe this book was a 4 star book for me and I felt really sad at the thought even though 4 stars is still a really good book in my eyes.

I've loved every single book KB Ritchie has published and I didn't want this book to be the one to change that. But luckily, I slept on all the stress and worry and after a long day at work, I finally sat back down with the book with a clear head and an open mind.

And that's when things got back to being amazing for me. As I kept reading, I saw Nikolai open up more and got to see the characters develop and grow before my eyes.

The two things that bothered and worried me, disappeared and I was left wondering why I was worried to begin with.

The book wraps up nicely but my greedy ass wants more. I don't want to leave their world! I would love to get more Nikolai and Thora but I doubt that will happen since this is a standalone.

But my greed doesn't stop there. I would die to read a book on the supporting characters like Ruiz, Dimitri, Katya Are you listening Krsita and Becca?

Please here my pleas Overall, this book made me feel a lot of emotions and while I did have a few minor problems with it, in the end I fell in love hardcore.

Your advice and just chatting in general really helped me de-stress and just rant about certain scenes in the book. You rock! I honestly love this book so much and I love the characters more than I ever thought possible.

I feel like this book is so underrated and I just wish people would pick it up so they could see what they're missing out on.

If this reread did anything for me, it just made me x's more desperate for Infini! But that's just how much I love this book. It will always be the book I will reread if given the chance.

To me, it's one of my all-time favorite books EVER. Definitely in the top three from the twins. I can't wait for Infini!!!

I love this story soo much even though I knew how the story would play out I couldn't stop reading and I read this every chance I could get; after work, before going to sleep, even while I was getting ready in the morning instead of listening to music as i got dressed I was reading and I NEVER do that!

Even now, knowing after 6 reads, when I pick this book up I get the same excited, "omg I'm in love and so invested" feeling as I did when I first picked it up over 2 years ago.

If there aren't more books I really don't know what I will do with myself because I'll never be done with this world.

I've read this book SEVEN times, 3 of those times was in this year alone. I wanted to reread it so many times since the last time I read it in June but I had to pace myself and remind myself that these books weren't going anywhere.

I honestly don't think I will ever tire of this book or these characters. I love them in a way that I've never loved other characters.

This series is one of my absolute favorites I think it's because it honestly hurts to read it sometimes knowing that I won't be able to read more about my faves.

I just want a million books about not only thoralai but the rest of the gang too. This world It's such an amazing work they have created!

So original! I can't believe I waited almost a year to reread this book. Thora and Nikolai are so damn perfect together I will never get tired of reading their book and seeing them fall in love and experience the circus through Thora's eyes.

But this also made me so damn eager to reread Infini and never want to leave this world. He tries to smile but his eyes flood instead.

Ahhhh I'm in love every freaking thing about this story and I'm so excited for the book2!. Nikolai Kotova is my new book boyfriend.

I love when authors create a whole community here the circus instead of just the story and make wonderful secondary characters.

His eyes rise to mine again. The story had a good opening, good flow and ending. Characters : Nik is someone who is a professional in his work and loves the circus.

I really like his commitment to his work and the way he trains Thora as a teacher. Then he a very good brother to his siblings, he protects and cares for them as a parent; then he was such a charmer… Then we have got Thora who is my absolute favorite in this book.

Thora is someone who is average in what she does not my word, her own but she wanted to pursue her dreams. Favorite Part : He cups my face, his thumb drying my tears.

He kisses my lips, hot pressure beneath the touch, a silent yes. Another kiss, this time, his body melding against mine, more urgent.

I stand on the tips of my toes, to reach him. Tears keep streaming, wetting his hands that hold my jaw.

Similar books? Recommended : Absolutely, if you are looking for a smoking hot hero who is caring and protective towards Thora and his family.

And a heroine who is determined to pursue her dreams and absolutely cute and thank God resembled normal human being!!! View all 61 comments.

Jul 10, Mikee ReadWithMikee rated it liked it Shelves: romance. I'm asking you, right now, to trust me.

It was an interesting concept but it didn't blow me away. I think I was expecting something a little different from what actually happened in the book.

I picked this up mainly because I love everything circus-themed and I thought we'd see a lot of the circus but we only saw glimpses of it, more towards the end.

In truth, I think the story I was expecting happened in the end of the book. I thought we'd see the main character actually BE in the circus for the whole book.
