Reviews

Critically, "The Indiscreet" has received a mixed reception over the years. Its IMDb rating stands at 5.7/10, reflecting an average response from viewers. Many critics praise the film for its period charm and the performances of the leads, particularly Dany Carrel, who brings an authentic touch to her role. However, some reviews note that the film’s pacing feels slow by modern standards, and the plot can come across as somewhat predictable and conventional. Classic French cinema enthusiasts appreciate the film for its depiction of 1950s societal nuances and the light comedic elements woven into the drama. Although it lacks high acclaim from major review aggregators, "The Indiscreet" remains a notable piece for those interested in vintage French films and the cultural context of the time. Rotten Tomatoes does not list this film, and Metacritic has no official score available, which is common for older international films. Overall, it stands as a modest, enjoyable film for fans of classic French cinema but may not fully engage a broader contemporary audience.
