Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It's a penetrating study of a man at the end of his rope, and a searing re-creation of a social milieu.
– Don Druker,
Chicago Reader,
16 Mar 2004
fresh:
The film is a triumph of style. It is quiet and indicative. It doesn't explain a lot, but we understand a lot about it all the same.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
31 Oct 2004
fresh:
Highly introspective, often tenderly touching and sometimes tediously redundant.
– A.H. Weiler,
New York Times,
9 May 2005
fresh:
Arguably the finest of Malle's early films.
