Aroview: Dir. Pialat’s matter-of-fact realism and blasé cast of young actors conveys all the aimlessness and uncertainty of youth in this dead-on portrait of late-adolescence, centred on a group of promiscuous small town kids fast approaching their university entrance exams. Trust the French to give us the last word on teen ennui...

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
1 star (Turkey) Teenagers mess around in a dull northern town. Nothing interesting in this film, unlike Pialat's brilliant later work in A Nos Amours (Bonnaire) and Police (Marceau). In these, the electricity between fine actors & director makes great movies. ~Sandy
