Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
One of the great Robert Bresson's greatest, and least-seen, movies.
– J. Hoberman,

fresh:
Not a masterwork perhaps, but certainly the work of a master, and, judging from the work of many of his young French disciples (including Leos Carax), one of his most influential features.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,

fresh:
Bresson, as always, holds on to that grace, gives us that beauty. While watching this great rapt film, with its hideous vision of a moral void, we almost can see light flickering in darkness, feel a spirit descending.
– Michael Wilmington,
Chicago Tribune,
5 Mar 2013
fresh:
Both the world and Bresson's cinema are in disarray, and the signs of his inner conflict are deeply troubling and tremendously moving.
– Richard Brody,

fresh:
Hold on to something, Bresson implies, or you may fall in love with boredom itself. See it for the mood.
