Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. Filipe Furtado – ★★½
   “Lelouch adds a careful heist film to a romance, or the other way around; anyway, it mostly banalizes both. This is an ingeniously structured and beautifully shot film, both in a studied academic way.”
2. Jeanne M. – ★★★★
   “A very pleasant surprise; I didn’t expect to like this film as much as I did. Lino Ventura is excellent as usual, and I discovered Françoise Fabian in a great female role: a modern, independent, and loving woman. This film is a love story against the backdrop of a heist, where both jewelry and the hearts of our protagonists (and perhaps even the audience) are stolen.”
3. Squalitooooooo – ★★★★
   “Well, I’m at the hospital, and ‘La Bonne Année’ is playing on Arte… Well, it’s still just as good.”
