Critic Reviews
-
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
The determined jollity of Georges Delerue's saloon piano score, which later opens up to encompass a wide world of romanticism, sets the tone for Francois Truffaut's audacious second feature, made in 1960.
-
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
Truffaut's form of self-reflection is ultimately a way of playing the audience.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
It is a teasing and frequently amusing (or moving) film that M. Truffaut has made, but it simply does not hang together.
-
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
One of those rare movies that you're sorry to see end.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's my favorite Truffaut film, not because it's the best but because it's the most enjoyable.
