Critic Reviews

  • Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

    It is one of the few late Truffauts to muster any weight and complexity.

    "The Man Who Loved Women" is an engaging, easy-to-watch story, but if you're a film buff looking for bold hallmarks of the French New Wave, you won't find much. Really, the only deviant touch is one self-reflexive scene in which some book publishers discuss the… More
