Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Bresson films with a certain gravity, a directness.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
Ultimately inexplicable, this concentrated, elliptical, economical movie is an experience that never loses its strangeness.
– J. Hoberman,
Village Voice,
4 Oct 2005
fresh:
French director Robert Bresson used his nonactors only once and orchestrated every gesture and glance; the performances that resulted are both mesmerizing and suffused with mystery.
– Edward Karam,
Entertainment Weekly,
27 Feb 2007
fresh:
Bresson choreographs the complex techniques of lifting wallets and watches with such precision that one seems to be watching a kind of surreptitious ballet.
– David Denby,
New Yorker,

fresh:
Robert Bresson made this short electrifying study in 1959; it's one of his greatest and purest films, full of hushed transgression and sudden grace.
