      Dave Kehr Chicago Reader It has enough of Blier's customary taboo-busting vigor to provide a reasonably unsettling good time.

      Audience Member Patrick Dewaere was an exceptional actor and this was definitely one of his best performances. Blier did a terrific script and the directing. The ending is very powerful. A must see essentially for Dewaere performance. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member make me start to think something Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Above average movie with great performance by Patrick Dewaere. What movie really lacks is sincere sex scene also fact that girl is only 14 but can feel, think and act way above her age making film not as realistic as it should be. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film de Blier qui ne mache pas ses mots (normal) mais qui se deroule, etrangement, tout en douceure. Comme si, deja, le fantome de Parick Dewaere plannait sur lu film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Magnifique le traitement de l'amour chez Blier est tendu mais beau Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member One of Dewaere's last performances, but definitelt his best work. The story is gripping in the intensity of the plot...and Besse and Dewaere's electrifying chemistry. Incredibly captivating. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
