Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
While the actors are responsible for much of the creativity, these are the director's most obsessive works: every shot and scene is set up more as a question than an answer, hinging on the adventure and mystery of not knowing what will happen next.
-
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Rivette's last shot is an extraordinary throwaway that provoked spontaneous applause for being at once completely ordinary, totally unexpected, and positively diabolical in shifting the meaning of the entire previous 12 1/2 hours.
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
A monumental if cheeky culmination of the French New Wave.
-
Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
Rivette's transformative "pure hazard," couched in the bare image that holds a thousand enigmas
-
Doug Cummings, Filmjourney
Out 1 has been accurately described as a "film-fleuve," and though its current may be slow, its volume is massive; one could easily follow any one of its many tributaries to vast thematic territory.
