"Patience, waiting, frustration, bad timing, lost opportunities - it takes a certain directorial boldness to highlight these as the principal themes of what is essentially a claustrophobic two-hander whose duration extends to nearly two and a half hours."

"It may sound like silly wordplay, but
Ne touchez pas la hache
is nothing short of rivetting."

4/5
"so completely ousts love and romance as a mere act that you expect curtains to sweep in at the end."

"Jeanne Balibar is radiant in Antoinette's deception and self-deception that speak of and to all lovers, male as well as female."

3/5
"How a proficient practitioner of seduction tries to ensnare a Napoleonic general in her web of coquettishness in 1820s Paris."

"Well acted and aesthetically attractive, the film remains by and large inert."
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
4/5
"Demonstrando uma quase reverência às origens de seu projeto, Rivette cria um roteiro que retém a natureza literária da narrativa."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
7/10
"A scarred war hero and a delicately placed courtesan spar amongst the moldering walls of Restoration Paris. A graceful story of love's struggles amidst a brutal social climate of denial and despair."
