...enigmatic, possessed of a cool artistry in its structural asymmetries and inconsistencies, and as gripping as any thriller.

...Sandrine Bonnaire once more shows herself as a master of playing indefatigable and free-spirited women masking deep wells of fragility and confusion.

A great character study about what might compel a person to keep moving. Varda's sense of composition yields many wonderful shots, and Bonnaire, only 17 years old, crafts a highly memorable performance.
