That's the second part of Truffaut pentalogy about his alter ego, Antoine Doinel. My opinion is controversial but i think it's better than THE 400 BLOWS, actually much better. It's a short film, its running time is 30 minutes, so you can't compare it with a full length film, but still, i enjoyed it and it's more coherent and well structured.
This is a coming of age dramedy/romance. A solid story about Doinel's love. I won't reveal what happened but viewers will empathize with the leading character, i sure did, this movie brought me memories from my young age. It's tremendously realistic, especially if you consider this is a 1962 movie. It depicts things as they are.
I think it's slightly better even than the following movie, STOLEN KISSES. I am gonna watch soon the last 2 parts of this pentalogy.
