criticism
Lexicon of international films : “A mildly age-wise variant of his favorite topic of the decadence of the bourgeoisie, presented by Claude Chabrol with a subtle smile, to which he opposes an innocent, young love as a bearer of hope. Photographed without frills and played by an ensemble that was convincing right down to the supporting roles, the film entertains in an intelligent, subtle way. "
