Le deuxième souffle Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
Melville distills emotions to rarefied minimalist gestures ... and offers a stringent morality of self-discipline, both his heroes' and his own.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Second breath, inexorable suffocation
Filmcritic.com
Chris Cabin
superbly restrained
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Characteristic of Melville's crime canon, the film's rigorously mannered aesthetic creates a decidedly artificial environment, and yet that environment is so meticulously, thoroughly realized that it's breathtakingly immersive.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
The product of a director in complete control of his talents, Second Breath musters enough depth that by its conclusion it feels only nominally like a heist film.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
It isn't an easy film to watch, perhaps because it moves so deliberately in comparison to its American models, but this somber, repressive, and perverse work displays a ferocious moral and formal integrity.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It is a violent film shot with calm detachment.
