---|---|---|---|
United Kingdom | Empire | "Another aching heartbreaker of a film by Berri that absorbs and rewards the audience" | POS |
United States | Variety | "Berri is unable to overcome the inherent feebleness of the Manon character, here played ineffectually by the lovely and talented Emmanuelle Beart." | NEU |
United States | ReelViews | "The acting, from that of the four major stars to the numerous supporting cast members, is without flaw. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)" | POS |
United States | The Washington Post | "Auteil's Ugolin is so well drawn, it's a shame to see the role lost" | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | "Though appealing in its wispy way, Manon is only a continental soap opera." | NEU |
