"If not for Christie's brilliant performance, I would say that this isn't much above a movie of the week."—Michael W. Phillips Jr., Goatdog's Movieshttp://goatdog.com/moviePage.php?movieID=421

"A transitional work between the British "Kitchen Sink" realism and the more stylized works of siwnging London, Schlesinger's film has not aged particularly well, but Julie Christie is beautiful and captivating as the immoral and amoral heroine."—Emmanuel Levy, EmmanuelLevy.comhttp://www.emanuellevy.com/search/details.cfm?id=4029
