The Story of Adèle H. Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
It's deeply, disarmingly funny -- which Truffaut has never been before. This picture is so totally concentrated on one character that its a phenomenon.
The Barb (Atlanta)
Steve Warren
The film moves with a special grace and beauty that only Truffaut can achieve. But the story is told too well... Romantic as I am, The Story of Adele H. was too much for me to take.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's Adjani who sells this story. We see her interior, and how her desires and behaviors are entirely rational to her.
Film Frenzy
Matt Brunson
Adjani brings more than enough volcanic passion to the project.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
The Story of Adele H is Francois Truffaut's ingenious attempt at a love story with only one character.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
The film remains, if not one of Truffaut's most remembered films, certainly a masterclass on the dissent into onscreen madness.
Los Angeles Free Press
Jacoba Atlas
An astonishing document of love.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
One of Truffaut's most complex films, a love story that shows only one half of an affair, The Story of Adele H. combines the fascination with obsessive women that fills his films with his love of books, diaries and the process of writing.
The New York Review of Books
Michael Wood
The poignancy of the movie is a little facile, but it's a real poignancy.
Village Voice
Molly Haskell
... a remarkable love story...
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Love, obssession, and madness, key issues in most of Truffaut's work, also define this meticulously made 1975 film, arguably his last masterpiece.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Brilliant performance by Adjani.
Atlantic City Weekly
Lori Hoffman
One of Truffaut's best
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Truffaut has taken this factual material and made it into a strange, moody film that belongs very much with the darker side of his work.
Film Journal International
Daniel Eagan
Polished but bland costume drama
F5 (Wichita, KS)
Jake Euker
Among Truffaut's greatest pictures, with a nuanced, revelatory performance from a 19-year-old Isabelle Adjani at its core.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Looks and sounds like no other Truffaut film you've ever seen.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Its intensity is impressive and remains uncompromised by the prettifying aesthetic touches Truffaut adds here and there in an apparent attempt to distance himself from the overcharged material.
