    I thought it was a little long, but I found it made me think about how plans change as we change.

    Beautiful sets, very atmospheric, but not much of a story. Truthfully, I only watched it because it was directed by OAssayas/IRMA VEP. Luv IH always.

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

You are aware of the richness and intricacy of Mr. Assayas's conception, and the breakneck enthusiasm with which he has plunged into his nation's past. full review
