Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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.
A monumental if cheeky culmination of the French New Wave.
