Francois Truffaut's fourth feature, The Soft Skin, has never gotten much respect -- even though many people (myself included) regard it as one of his best.
J. Hoberman, Village Voice

Truffaut does show that he can make a solidly carpentered film like anybody else.

[A] steely 1964 study in the cruel mechanics of illicit love.
David Jenkins, Time Out
Rotten
It's a curiously crude and hackneyed drama to come from Mr. Truffaut, but this way of using his actors and working his camera is up to his style.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
