      Audience Member The conclusion of Antoine Doinel's saga provides closure for those who accompanied the protagonist life, but in the end it cannot stand on its own, recurring to constant flashbacks that derive from the main narrative. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review chris w 8 8 9 9 9 9 10 10 10 10 = 92 2020/2/8 You can never resist the magic of Truffaut in Love On the Run. Perfect script for a final oeuvre for The Adventures of Antoine Doinel. Dorothée is fascinating, and all the characters are fabulous in the final film of the series. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review s r It has its moments, but overall I was don't need to see it again. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review scott s The final film in the Antoine Doinel Saga has it's interesting charm. Focusing on love you get to see Antoine's quest for love through interacting with new and old flames and searching himself through a series of flashbacks. A great ending to a fun series. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The series begins to fade well and truly by now. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This ending episode of Antoine Doinel's life drama is really boring.

      Gary Arnold Washington Post "Love on the Run" is such a self-derivative triviality that a substantial percentage of the running time is devoted to excerpts from the previous Doinel films. May 6, 2017 Full Review Keith Phipps AV Club The director himself admits that it's an unsatisfying conclusion to the series, though a pretty good film in its own right. Jun 14, 2004 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times As do some childhood friends, Antoine Doinel has grown away from us. Rated: 2.5/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Love on the Run is the most "Hitchcockian" film that Truffaut, his confessed idol, has created since The Bride Wore Black or Fahrenheit 451. [Full review in Spanish] Jan 17, 2024 Full Review Lawrence O'Toole Maclean's Magazine Love on the Run seems to have been made on the run and for no reason other than to make a movie. Feb 14, 2020 Full Review E. Katherine Mederos Sojourner Despite its flaws, Love on the Run is a delightful film. Aug 14, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
