Trip’s review published on Letterboxd:
Pickpocket is not pulpy enough to be a noir, too sleepy to be a thriller and not interesting enough to be an effective drama. It creeps along at a lengthy 76 minutes with some skillful cinematography during a few clever pickpocket montages that pop with overtly sexual energy, but largely sits lifeless on the screen. The attempts at philosophical exploration through the simple story are particularly ineffective. A handful of snappy pickpocket montages are the highlight in an otherwise spiritless film.
