Chris Chang Film Comment Magazine Although the acting and recombinant twists of the plot dance with spontaneity, Rivette's mise-en-scène is precision exemplified. Jun 17, 2013 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader It lacks the scariness, the mystery, and even much of the curiosity of Rivette's better work. Nov 12, 2007 Full Review Empire Magazine It's slight, contrived and conceited. But, oh, for more films as flawed as this one. Rated: 4/5 Dec 23, 2002 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 4/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide It's an engaging diversion from a master director who, at the ripe age of 78, appears to be once again at the top of his game. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 12, 2007 Full Review Film4 Staff Film4 Jacques Rivette's playful romance takes time to find its feet, yet its leisurely charm and generous compassion towards its characters proves a winning combination.

Audience Member A really charming film which was engaging and watchable throughout. Really loved the stories, the intertwining of which gives the film a remarkable character unlike many others. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a particularly memorable effort by Rivette.The pacing of the film seems to be off as it results in a ponderous delivery of story and character. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A somewhat refreshing french stage comedy with multiple intertwined storylines (& triangles). It starts off slow (I could not finish this in one sitting), but it all fits together in the end. There are many fine performances in this mish-mash collage, but the storyline may be too jumpy for the tired. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Camille è un'attrice di teatro che ha lasciato la Francia per andare a vivere in Italia. Dopo cinque anni ritorna in patria con il suo compagno Ugo e una nuova troupe per mettere in scena una commedia di Pirandello. Durante la tournée, Camille si trova a fare i conti con il suo passato mentre Ugo va alla ricerca di un misterioso manoscritto di Goldoni. [cinematografo.it] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member so many interesting and smart details make this movie special. For example you can feel mood (and tension) of actress by here... breathing (and excellent work of all the cast). Theatrical? Yes, but it's about theater. Conduct of some scenes are so familiar for Russian old school (in good way). Great art directors work - pay attention to the colors in scene. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member A bit slow. I just so happened to be in the perfect mood for it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
