| Chicago ReaderDon DrukerIt's full of misty romps in the meadows, rain-soaked windshields, assorted puppies and lambs, and a 'bittersweet' theme song that drones incessantly on the sound track. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumPretty tepid romantic stuff here, but still a catchy title song. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzEnjoyable slick soap opera romance that did a big box office despite its superficial strains. |
| VarietyVariety StaffAnouk Aimee has a mature beauty and an ability to project an inner quality that helps stave off the obvious banality of her character, and this goes too for the perceptive Jean-Louis Trintignant as the man. |
| New York TimesBosley CrowtherThey seem two dimly sentient beings moved by memories of conventional affections and the compulsions of ordinary love. |
| User ReviewFelipe Pone of the best love stories ever committed to celluloid. lelouch's treatment is perfectly delicate, with lush color-washed exteriors. fantastic cinematography and one of the best scores you'll find in cinema. |
| User ReviewAsh GThis is a '60's classic and could be shot right now, today! Love the music, love the Mustang, love Anouk to bits. Now dats a lady! |
| User ReviewAnutra UBeautiful movie. I just love it! Lelouch was so fashionable....playing and switching from b&w to colour scenes. Oh so cool! |

| User ReviewCatherine DMon plus grand coup de coeur cinématographique! |
