Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The film is entertaining and discreetly sentimental, though perhaps a little too flattering to the fantasies of the young adult audience.

rotten:
The sadness of the film's decaying domesticity keeps undermining it, giving it the air of a melancholy B-side to what's come before.
– Keith Phipps,

16 May 2003
fresh:
I can't help believing that Francois Truffaut's latest Antoine Doinel comedy, Bed and Board, will turn out to be one of the loveliest, most intelligent movies we'll see in all of 1971.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Bed and Board is one of the most decent and loving films I can remember.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
23 Oct 2004
fresh:
It is laced with little incidents, quirky characters, incisive insights and quintessentially French national traits of complacency that avoid chauvinism in Truffaut's gentle but never sentimental or indulgent treatment.
