      Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader Jacques Rivette's first foray into <'professional' filmmaking was this very uncharacteristic and relatively conventional half-hour 35-millimeter short. Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Keith Uhlich Slant Magazine The whole thing is shallow and obvious in ways that Rivette's features never are. Rated: 2/4 Dec 4, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
