Reviews for The Woman Next Door
In the end, the film is not about an attraction between two people, but about the love of the spectator for the image -- the perverse transactions between the audience and the screen.
The Woman Next Door is a compelling exploration of romantic obsession.
Truffaut mines the natural acting prowess of his leading lovers to great effect
A profoundly Hitchcockian film, in that its real subjects are guilt, passion and terrible consequences of a sin that starts out small.
The work of one of the most continuously surprising and accomplished directors of his day.
Intended as a sophisticated study about the travails of obsessive love among the bourgeois professionals.
