One of the great Robert Bresson's greatest, and least-seen, movies.

J. Hoberman, ARTINFO.com

Not a masterwork perhaps, but certainly the work of a master, and, judging from the work of many of his young French disciples (including Leos Carax), one of his most influential features.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

Bresson, as always, holds on to that grace, gives us that beauty. While watching this great rapt film, with its hideous vision of a moral void, we almost can see light flickering in darkness, feel a spirit descending.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

Both the world and Bresson's cinema are in disarray, and the signs of his inner conflict are deeply troubling and tremendously moving.

Richard Brody, New Yorker

Hold on to something, Bresson implies, or you may fall in love with boredom itself. See it for the mood.

Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
