The film was made in extremely rudimentary conditions, with only a cash-strapped director, a dubious male and female lead, a cameraman, a camera assistant, and lighting. The plot couldn't be simpler, the love story of a pair of widowed middle-aged men and women. There are very few dialogues, and many dialogues were not matched in the later stage due to various reasons, and were replaced by music. Such a film is inevitably a bit dull, but it has a timeless style, delicate emotions, and is full of French romantic feelings. The defects that may arise due to the limitation of technical funds have been mythically evolved into extremely stylized features by the director.

9.5/10 The relaxed, dexterous, and constantly weakened structure is still effective, and the seemingly loose but unexpectedly neat time segments form the constantly jumping emotions. The soundtrack and color grading are excellent, the light is used to the extreme, and it is truly "written with light". Men and women, boys and girls, on Saturdays and Sundays, the self-cognition of the film is not self-reflexive, but it is also a textual cognition. The dialogue is a little weaker, and more of the materiality presented in the film. Many cameras are styled and colored very much like home video. It is a pure and simple image collage, but does not care about the voice and sentence. Music and light are used as adhesives, limiting and shrinking inward, but the imprint and aftertaste left are indeed profound.

Jean-Louis Duroc: Some Sundays start well and end badly. It's hard to believe- It's crazy to refuse happiness. If I had to go through this again, What would I do? Is there anything else I could do? To see her for months on end as a pal. What happens? You end up being pals, maybe. She wired, 'I love you.' Admit it boy, you just don't understand women.
