Quote:
"Miss Lanctôt is not yet proficient at lighting sequences or determining their proper length. Her budget dictated techniques of awkwardness. But the film, in the end, is like its hero, as he is seen by his women at the beginning of his love affairs—sweetly sympathetic and understanding. Unlike the habit of its hero, its sympathy never segues into sentimentality."
