This is a magical, whirling little film, a triumph of style, even though it runs down to nothing in the last, too quick, too ambiguous shot.

Playing Jackie ... Moreau is one of the most watchable of screen goddesses.

I think it's not just Demy's masterpiece, but one of the great French films of the sixties, which is pretty high praise.
