“Offering plum roles to Catherines Frot and Catherine Deneuve, this is a minor-key crowd pleaser about friendship, forgiveness and rolling with the punches.”~IndieWire

Aroview: Two of French cinema's most beloved actors, Catherine Deneuve and Catherine Frot, team up in this rich character study by the director of SERAPHINE. Frot plays a midwife and single mum whose quiet, focused life is disrupted both by her local community ward being shut down and the sudden intrusion of her deceased father's vivacious mistress.

2 stars (Good Try) Adding Olivier Gourmet into the mix and there are 3 fine actors who are used to carrying films on their own and are really the main reason for watching this screenplay. ~Tubbs
