Francois Truffaut's bittersweet 1977 comedy, about the pleasure and the pathos of sexual pursuit, is also an ode to the art of writing.

It is one of the few late Truffauts to muster any weight and complexity.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Charmless.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

The movie is a supremely humane, sophisticated comedy that is as much fun to watch for the variations Mr. Truffaut works on classic man-woman routines as for the routines themselves.
