Critics' reviews

"A marriage of the French new wave and Hollywood tradition (...) Miss Moreau remains one of the screen's great actresses"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"Basically an exercice de style, and a good one at that."

Jonathan Rosenbaum: Chicago Reader
"A gentle comedy and one of the few plausible and strange love stories in a long time."

Renata Adler: The New York Times
"A frigid and oddly static procession of Hitchcockian shout-outs that plays like an affected sequel to the two filmmakers' celebrated interview book."

Fernando F. Croce: Slant
