Critical response Richard Collins calls Slim Obsession a "finely produced, modest drama" that transcends "both naturalistic concentration on an individual history and abstract sociological discourse about a big social problem." Shebib's film perfectly exemplifies the Chabrolian "little subject" where an extensive representation is created out of a relatively modest subject.
