In a subtly unobtrusive way it is irresistibly funny. Go to Full Review Variety Staff Variety 03/26/2009
It is laced with little incidents, quirky characters, incisive insights and quintessentially French national traits of complacency that avoid chauvinism in Truffaut's gentle but never sentimental or indulgent treatment. Go to Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand 07/09/2022
[Truffaut creates] a warm sense of community reminiscent of the works of Jean Renoir, and he pays homage to comic auteur Jacques Tati in meticulously constructed comic bits and a hilarious cameo by Tati’s famous character M. Hulot. Go to Full Review TV Guide 08/08/2012

It's a minor Truffaut domestic romantic comedy, the least satisfactory of the series, although it's not without the usual charm and amusing moments. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
