Review: ‘A screenplay whose architecture is a model of ingenuity, a mise-en-scène that leaves nothing to chance, a masterfully directed performance: this is what LA VÉRITÉ has to offer.’ Jean de Baroncelli, Le Monde (05.11.1960)

Review: ‘Beyond the diabolically precise script, and the actors, all of whom are absolutely terrific, particularly Brigitte Bardot, who blows us away, the film's modernity is immediately obvious.’ Johan Girard, Brazil
