Writer-director Sautet's great achievement is to introduce a world of undefinable impulses; the two actors' great achievement is to step into that world and experience them.

Impeccably performed psychodrama about the search for intimacy.

The film's structure and resolute lack of closure deeply subvert American expectations of how a movie should be, how a movie should work and how a story is told. But it's worth a look, however quizzical.

Takes a familiar French story of a May-December romance and renders it with unexpected nuance and uncommon wisdom.

Sautet makes movies about the you that you think only you know.

[Sautet's] insights into human nature are revealing, if extremely subtle.

It's reserved, polished and challengingly intelligent.

These are two great actors giving top-notch performances, and the restrained romance they project is fascinating.

With a fine appreciation for the nuances of polite repression, Sautet makes a quiet, careful study of these two lonely people.

Sautet avoids the pitfalls of the usual May-December romance by eschewing all the cliches.

It's one sign of Sautet's success that, though he presents neither character as especially admirable or exceptional, he makes us care about them a great deal.
