It's an entertaining film even if it doesn't completely work.

It's an enjoyable and entertaining film, albeit probably Truffaut's darkest and least sentimental work.

Miss Moreau remains one of the screen's great actresses, and there is a supporting cast of unusual quality.

Truffaut is such a poetic filmmaker that the film turns around and becomes, not at all Hitchcockian, but a gentle comedy and one of the few plausible and strange love stories in a long time.

A chilling and tragic portrait of fractured psychology and shattered lives.
