The film pulls provocative insights and ironies out of each adventure as artfully as an accomplished pickpocket works a crowd...

Four Adventures is considered neither part of the female friendship canon nor a major Rohmer, but it should be included in both.

Four Adventures uses a country-mouse-and-city-mouse template to explore the morality, aesthetic sense, urban and rural savvy, and a host of other concerns.

Very little seems to happen in this four-episode, light-as-air Éric Rohmer film, shot on 16mm and largely improvised by the actors, but it's a delicate delight, alive to small textures, sights, and sounds.
