Colin Bennett The Age (Australia) Claude Chabrol makes the same film several times a year. The film is as confident and precise as ever but, as the French say, deja vu. Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Penelope Gilliatt The New Yorker Its characters have ignoble goals, its plot is a sorry mixture of the shocking and the facetious, and its author seems to have mislaid most of his sense of small-town drama in an exhibition of metropolitan knowingness and boulevard melodrama. Mar 6, 2024 Full Review David L. Overbey Sight & Sound Pure Chabrol. Mar 18, 2020 Full Review John Simon Esquire Magazine Among Chabrol's better films, despite, or because of, its simplemindedness... Actually, what makes the film interesting, over and above the sheer technical expertise, is its evocation of physical passion. Jul 28, 2020 Full Review Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) Life in the countryside, political, local and economic interests, and the fear of what people may think are described in a precise and masterful way. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 17, 2019 Full Review Fernando F. Croce CinePassion An impeccable satire Oct 21, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews
