Critics I admire have assured me that many of Brisseau's earlier films are less silly, more interesting, and even commendable.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

The content may be dubious, but the execution is hypnotic.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune

Gorgeous French silliness, yes, featuring stunning women having languorous, artful sex with each other. What was I saying? Oh yes, the silliness. Artful, gorgeous, sexy, sure, but ridiculous nonetheless.
Michael Booth, Denver Post

[Director] Brisseau calculatedly offsets the silliness of the surreal elements and the earnestness applied to the sex by savoring the overall absurdity.
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
