---|---|---|---|
United States | Los Angeles Times | "A consummate entertainment rich with the romantic atmosphere of Paris in the 1950s" | POS |
United Kingdom | The Guardian | "It is not free of plot-holes...but what a supremely stylish and watchable picture it is" | POS |
United States | The New Yorker | "Moreau's nocturnal wanderings are made unbearably poignant by an exquisite Miles Davis jazz score that became famous in its own right." | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "The film's look makes a divine accessory for its music, which Miles Davis composed. There's not even 20 minutes of it in the film, yet it still defines the atmosphere, transforming a crime yarn into a bebop noir" | POS |
