A great film that remains one of the cornerstones of the French New Wave.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

A beautiful, calm, austere movie that somehow manages to be remarkably faithful to the original, yet quite different in tone.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
Rotten
The French censors banned the film for over a year, thus generating both notoriety and goodwill, neither justified.
