Time Out -
The final KO of a brilliant cinematic one-two punch, Leos Carax’s follow-up to his gobsmacking feature debut, Boy Meets Girl (1984), proved this enfant terrible was no one-hit wonder. Boy still meets girl, in the form of feral Denis Levant and gorgeous Juliette Binoche, but this sophomore outing’s real romantic coupling is an artist swooning head over heels for his medium.

Village Voice -
Bittersweet, haunting, and as original and eccentric as homage movies get.

Christian Science Monitor -
Distinctive feel.
|
|
TV Guide Magazine -
Though the storyline moves in unconvincing fits and starts, Carax gets good performances from his hip young stars.

The New York Times -
While the screen flashes and flickers, little else is happening.
