User Reviews

I never expected to fall in love with this movie, but 'love' would be an understatement. Highly recommend to every fan of the French cinema.

It's definetely a slow burn, but it doesnt make it a dull nor boring to watch, one classic french vibe, which either u love it or hate it

Veryyyy slowwwww. But stunning piece of cinema.

Vibrant, scenic, playful, with depths that only a swimming pool with the utmost beautiful surface (Delon, Birkin, Schneider) could reach

Feels like a thriller on Xanax. The elements of a nail biter were there, but it mostly focuses on the inner lives of yuppies instead.

Alain Delon slays for two hours (because the sex appeal and also the murder)

I get it, it's Alain Delon and Romy Schneider being all sexy and dramatic. That's not enough to make a good movie to me. This is dull af.

The director has something to say about love, identity and all feelings in between and this is his masterpiece in saying it.

Another one of my favorites.

Hot people are crazy y'all
