Fantastic use of camerawork gets us right into the heart of these four girls and the ambivalent social attitudes towards love and sex. The pacing is methodical, despite being superficially loose, and Chabrol builds up a skewer of conflicting social attitudes with subversive undertones. Fantastic ending too.

A typically Chabrolian meander back and forth through the lives of several pretty and interesting young women... and the tiresome men who continually pester them. The message seems to be a feminist one. Despite having little plot, the film isn't too boring thanks to the excellent camerawork and cinematography. There's usually something to appreciate in the French New Wave films, even if it's not what you bargained for.

Not very interesting but the four leads are absolutely gorgeous, so that kept me going...

A cautionary tale against... men? Not that it is particularly feminist either. The male characters are either sadistic maniacs or completely boring, while the female characters are just boring. Some nice new wave touches here and there but mostly a dud.

Entre Amigas estreava há 60 anos na França. Me lembrou em certo sentido o Le Amiche que é um filme que odeio. Funciona como denúncia ao sexismo vigente, mas que soa também moralista demais sobre com quem as mulheres devem se envolver - todos os personagens masculinos aqui são asquerosos, sem exceção. Mas é bacana a construção da narrativa, o filme vai alinhavando o que irá acontecer no suposto twist por todo ele, vai pessimisticamente galgando cada camada para o inevitável. DVDRip

upsetting in a way so many of its equally cynical contemporaries are not, simply because it's built on a bedrock of compassion.

A meandering and atmospheric chronicle of young women trying to enjoy life in the city, amidst the sometimes menacing and even dangerous attention of suitors. This wouldn't be Chabrol's focus in his later films, but here I feel he captures this frolicking youth thing far more realistically than most of his New-Wave compatriots, with the exception of Rozier and Pialat (and preceding them). Lots of music, enchanting performances from Lafont and Audran, and snappy, bubbly editing ahead of its time.
