Top CriticA fascinating and sympathetic portrait of an abused woman is given life and depth by Rohmer's eloquent direction.

Top CriticThe film's slow, stately pace and the quiet way in which it makes its points give it the aura of a neoclassical dream, a fading vision of the virtue of gentility.

It's a dazzling testament to the civilizing effects of several different arts, witty, joyous and so beautiful.
