Critics' reviews

"Long, talky and shot in black and white. In other words, it requires a commitment in time and brain power - a commitment worth making."

V.A. Musetto: New York Post
"Garrel gives an original artistic form to his rueful view of his own youthful illusions"

Richard Brody: The New Yorker
"Garrel is not just an artless aesthete, he is unexpectedly and intensely romantic -- imagining and realizing a character who can die for love."

J. Hoberman: Village Voice
"It's a lethargic, meandering picture that takes a largely uncritical view of its narcissistic characters."

Philip French: The Guardian
