Assayas's sense of how relationships evolve between people over time is conveyed with a rich and vivid novelistic density.

A kaleidoscopic but engrossing study of the shifting sands of friendship among a group of Parisians.

The cast, including Virginie Ledoyen, Francois Cluzet, and Mathieu Amalric, is as well coordinated as a fine chamber-music ensemble; their entrances and vanishings and re-entries play like recurring motifs.

The film doesn't leave the audience with a moral. It just leaves a sense of having been in the stimulating company of passionate people.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It is, in many ways, a modest film. But a director who offers glimpses of life that are recognizable in both detail and texture isn't so common that we can afford to overlook what he has achieved here.
