| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA compelling slice of life drama in Gallic humanism. |
| Parallax ViewRichard T. Jameson... an abundance of nicely observed moments in the lives of characters who are not at all remarkable played by actors who number among the extraordinary. |
| User ReviewPrivate UAh Claude Sautet !!! Toujours la classe, la grande. Tout ce cinéma aide bien au quotidien. |
| User ReviewSteve BMon favori de Sautet. Le film est vraiment bien écrit et Montant, Piccoli et Reggiani y offrent des performances magistrales. |
| User ReviewGrayson DA fantastic cast keep one well above average even though it's a bit dated. |
| User ReviewFrédéric IDes hommes et leurs problèmes, d'argent, de couple, d'amitié... Des choses de la vie... Un film agréable mais sans surprise. Sautet a trouvé une petite musique qui va marquer les années 70, mais pas au delà . A revoir pour les acteurs. |
