Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Dave KehrIts intensity is impressive and remains uncompromised by the prettifying aesthetic touches Truffaut adds here and there in an apparent attempt to distance himself from the overcharged material.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 9/10 by Emanuel LevyLove, obssession, and madness, key issues in most of Truffaut's work, also define this meticulously made 1975 film, arguably his last masterpiece.
The New York Review of Books - 8/10 by Michael WoodThe poignancy of the movie is a little facile, but it's a real poignancy.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonTruffaut's study of Adele is ofttimes almost clinical in nature, but Adjani brings more than enough volcanic passion to the project.
User Review - 10/10 by Sarah FTHIS IS AMAZING! Ms Adjani portrays tragic insnaity brought on by love-lost misery in a poignant impossible swirl of pacified emotion that is completley moving, gripping and beleievable, at the same age as Keira Kinghtly somehow I fell this is a far greater achievement!
User Review - 10/10 by ali hOne of my very favourites, it's heartbreaking and it's an oscar winner.
User Review - 10/10 by X Aexellant =] am onlyy sain that cos its ma name av no saw itt
User Review - 10/10 by The BUn des grands role d'Isabelle Adjani.
User Review - 10/10 by Dini. PA woman with an absent father (Victor Hugo adored Adele's older sister) who falls for an absent lover... until she loses her mind over it. Romantic and tragic: the best Truffaut movie and certainly the best Adjani performance (BTW the Director was indeed in love with the actress).
User Review - 10/10 by Geoffrey DTruffaut filme magistralement Adjani dans cette passion devorante. L'atmosphere suffoquante fait echo a la folie qui enferme peu a peu l'heroine. Du tres grand Truffaut avec une Adjani encore "fraiche" qui ne faisait que debuter dans ce genre de roles (helas ce n'etait pas la fin... hem). On appreciera aussi le ton narratif et epistolaire cher a Truffaut qui s'adapte merveilleusement a la personnalite d'Adele et à son atavisme.
