Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
By no means this great filmmaker's best, it's still an auspicious beginning.
Jacques Rivette's troubled and troubling account of Parisians in the late 50s remains in some ways the most intellectually and philosophically mature of them as well as one of the most beautiful.
