Those who dislike Rohmer's verbosity will again find themselves 
[on] 
unfriendly turf here


but they will also have missed much of the point. 

He's a believer 
not in speech for its own sake 

but in the power of dialogue 
and the ability of debate to push toward a higher understanding


To this end, Rohmer remains sympathetic to each setting Rivière encounters and portions the members of each a sensible contribution to his heroine's internal struggle, even if he ultimately aligns himself with her values. By the film's intensely moving finale, both Rohmer and his heroine have earned its moment of revelation.
