The film was screened at the 37th edition of the Venice Film Festival, in the Officina Veneziana sidebar.[1]
A contemporary Variety review described the film as a “talky look at female confession and suburban life” that “does have insights into personal problems but lacks the visual edge that Vecchiali was able to achieve in his best film, Femmes, Femmes“.[2] Éric Rohmer praised the film, and complained that Cahiers du Cinéma did not supported the film enough.[3] Peter Cargin from Continental Film Review wrote: “C’est la vie, a French film from Paul Vecchiali, was certainly experimental, but cinema?”, noting that “the film really would have been much more suitable for a radio piece.”[4]
