Soooo boring. According to IMDb's trivia, Werner insisted on giving a robotic performance. Considering that the movie has essentially the story of a character study, and 90% of the character development needed to be conveyed through the performance, you're left with no movie. Again from the trivia page: "[Truffaut] later declared that if he hadn't wasted six years attempting to make the film, he would have left the set like a shot." That pretty well sums up the movie.
