Tomatometer Critic Review Category
splat

Very glossy, very French voyage into sexual discovery that mingles cliché and elegant posturing with an attempt to broaden the horizons of the sex film.

Time Out

splat

All in all, a somewhat tedious but occasionally amusing period romp.

William Thomas

First time director Just Jaecklin’s film is the movie that set the clichés for the soft core films to follow.

6/10

Tim Brayton

Though it is more historically significant than any other softcore porno ever made, it just isn't that memorable an exploitation film.

splat

Film is a series of glossy images and appears more a come-on for the civil service than for femme lib.

Roger Ebert

It's a relief, during a time of cynicism in which sex is supposed to sell anything, to find a skin flick that's a lot better than it probably had to be.
