Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
A bomb.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
fresh:
The final shot is one of the most convincingly grief-stricken in cinema.
– Tom Huddleston,
Time Out,
27 Aug 2013
fresh:
Niven and Kerr keenly satirize their onscreen iconographies-the cad and the goody-goody, respectively-but it's Seberg who cuts deepest.
– Keith Uhlich,
Time Out New York,
24 Apr 2012
fresh:
Otto Preminger's formally dazzling 1958 film is an edifice constructed of contrasts.
– Nick Pinkerton,
Village Voice,

rotten:
Script deficiencies and awkward reading -- some lines are spoken as though just that -- have static results.
