Critic Reviews

A.O. Scott

At under 90 minutes, Around a Small Mountain is, by Mr. Rivette’s standards, a small vignette. It could have been —--and perhaps was -- part of something longer and more complex, but it stands as perfectly on its own as Pic St.-Loup, marvelous to contemplate and changing slightly every time you see it.

Cliff Doerksen

This 2009 feature is as precious as it sounds but also irresistibly charming. If you’re a newcomer to the oeuvre of New Wave hero Jacques Rivette, this is a highly accessible port of entry. Read full review

Nick Pinkerton

It's all slight enough to blow away, and rare enough to warrant seeing it before it does. Read full review

Boyd Van Hoeij

Will interest Rivette admirers at fests and in the niche arena but will do nothing to broaden his appeal. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

If you want an introduction to the director's work, you're better off with "La Belle Noiseuse" (1991) and his masterpiece, "Celine and Julie Go Boating" (1974). Read full review

Joshua Rothkopf

Never is the material excited into the kind of playful uncertainty that Rivette all but trademarked; the inertness of the performances robs the movie of spirit. Read full review
