Critics' reviews
- "Everyday incidents take on an almost spiritual intensity in Bresson's controlled and incisive direction and handling of the players"
- "Like any genius, Bresson made rules in order to break them."
- "It's a remarkable film: dark, compressed, shattering."
- "A magnificent and deeply rewarding example of Bresson's stripped-down methods"
