It lacks the scariness, the mystery, and even much of the curiosity of Rivette's better work.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A generally wonderful experience, though it should come with a warning posted outside the theatre: Not for the impatient.
Slow but savvy look at what we do for love.
A dense, droll and frequently delightful account of that zone where art and life (and love) converge.
It's a supremely smart film.
