One of the greatest lines in cinema history: "You can hang up now. Mr. Henri is dead." That scene alone--not to mention the several other Truffaut touches throughout--are reason enough to see and treasure this film.

Truffaut's second best film of his career. Which just happens to be the second feature in the infamous Doinel series.

A superb film, one of Francois Truffaut's very best and the second best in the Antoine series. (I think The 400 Blows is his best). Good score, excellent writing and a fine performance from Jean-Pierre Leaud.

The character of Antoine peaks in this film and Truffaut's direction has never been more aesthetically pleasing.

I usually hate French New Wave. Yet this film? Class. Major class. The performances, personality of the picture, skillful direction and writing, it all works. I seriously got into it.

Typically light fare from the master of French Lite Full Review
While Truffaut was fiddling with this trifle, the streets of Paris were burning with a student riot in May 1968. Full Review
A poignant portrait of sop-free love.
Despite some of the broadness of the comedy (one of the funniest scenes being Antoine's clearly inept attempt to tail a woman on the street), the film is tempered throughout by a series of lessons Ant... Full Review
Some regard the film as Truffaut's finest work. Full Review
Stolen Kisses certainly has charm, and is more accessible to mainstream audiences than the previous Antoine films. Full Review
This amusing and entertaining French film is a valentine to love and the emotions it arouses. Full Review
The gentle tone of Stolen Kisses seems keyed to Jean-Pierre Léaud's unassuming poignancy in the role of Antoine Doinel. His relaxed improvisatory manner in front of the camera remains as fresh today a... Full Review
