Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Berri also remains a boringly uninteresting director, dotting every i and crossing every t with nothing much on his mind but platitude.

rotten:
Berri is unable to overcome the inherent feebleness of the Manon character, here played ineffectually by the lovely and talented Emmanuelle Beart.

There is a satisfying symmetry to events, with Manon able to take her revenge on the Soubeyrans.

fresh:
The acting, from that of the four major stars to the numerous supporting cast members, is without flaw.

The movie is stuffed with cues for arias that are never heard.
