  At under 90 minutes, Around a Small Mountain is, by Mr. Rivette's standards, a small vignette. It could have been ---and perhaps was -- part of something longer and more complex, but it stands as perfectly on its own as Pic St.-Loup, marvelous to contemplate and changing slightly every time you see it.

  It's all slight enough to blow away, and rare enough to warrant seeing it before it does.

  Variety

  Will interest Rivette admirers at fests and in the niche arena but will do nothing to broaden his appeal.
