It has enough of Blier's customary taboo-busting vigor to provide a reasonably unsettling good time. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 08/08/2005

01/31/2013 Patrick Dewaere was an exceptional actor and this was definitely one of his best performances. Blier did a terrific script and the directing. The ending is very powerful. A must see essentially for Dewaere performance. See more 10/27/2011 make me start to think something See more 07/17/2011 Above average movie with great performance by Patrick Dewaere. What movie really lacks is sincere sex scene also fact that girl is only 14 but can feel, think and act way above her age making film not as realistic as it should be. See more 01/05/2011 Un film de Blier qui ne mache pas ses mots (normal) mais qui se deroule, etrangement, tout en douceure. Comme si, deja, le fantome de Parick Dewaere plannait sur lu film. See more 05/13/2008 Magnifique le traitement de l'amour chez Blier est tendu mais beau See more 03/08/2008 One of Dewaere's last performances, but definitelt his best work. The story is gripping in the intensity of the plot...and Besse and Dewaere's electrifying chemistry. Incredibly captivating. See more Read all reviews
