Critics' reviews

"Beyond the timelessness of the story itself, the film is beautifully shot and though early in Godard’s career already showcased his ability to capture emotional intensity in the very way he frames the shots."

Betsy Sharkey: Los Angeles Times
"Overall, the film lacks the artifice of Hollywood cinema, which Godard admired but was looking to move past after catching flack from the French left wing."

Drew Hunt: Chicago Reader
"Even this early in his career, Godard knew how to make audiences viscerally experience and contemplate things they might otherwise not have wanted to."
