Truffaut is attempting a philosophical disquisition on the presence of the lost, the ways in which the dead remain a part of our lives, but his theme can't escape the morbid eccentricity of his characters.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Truffaut's lack of range as an actor is not helped by the script's purple prose.
