Top CriticWriter-director Sautet's great achievement is to introduce a world of undefinable impulses; the two actors' great achievement is to step into that world and experience them.

Top CriticImpeccably performed psychodrama about the search for intimacy.
08/28/02
The film's structure and resolute lack of closure deeply subvert American expectations of how a movie should be, how a movie should work and how a story is told. But it's worth a look, however quizzical.

Takes a familiar French story of a May-December romance and renders it with unexpected nuance and uncommon wisdom.

It's one sign of Sautet's success that, though he presents neither character as especially admirable or exceptional, he makes us care about them a great deal.
