What are critics saying?

Le Besco gives an unforgettable performance in a movie that's sweet and sad, formally near-perfect but never cynical.
60
Strikingly crafted but rather empty drama.

Jacquot seems unwilling to either shape his story or offer commentary, a standard New Wave strategy that, in this instance, makes for a tale as vague as it is nouvelle.

Absorbing thriller.
