Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The movie is stuffed with cues for arias that are never heard.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,

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

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

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

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