Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The determined jollity of Georges Delerue's saloon piano score, which later opens up to encompass a wide world of romanticism, sets the tone for Francois Truffaut's audacious second feature, made in 1960.
– Michael Phillips,
Chicago Tribune,
18 Oct 2008
fresh:
Truffaut's form of self-reflection is ultimately a way of playing the audience.
– J. Hoberman,
Village Voice,
4 Sep 2008
fresh:
Often overlooked, Truffaut's wonderful second film stars Charles Aznavour, master of the chanson, in his only collaboration with the director.
– Melissa Anderson,
Time Out New York,

rotten:
It is a teasing and frequently amusing (or moving) film that M. Truffaut has made, but it simply does not hang together.
