“It’s a credit to [director] Hers’ contemplative, never intrusive observational style that by the end of the two-hour running time we know [the characters] intimately.”~David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter

5 stars (Exceptional) Very convincing & interesting characters. Real & loving. Charlotte Gainsbourg is wonderful - very 3D. A wholly memorable film outstanding in all respects. Such a film could never be made in Hollywood without degenerating into cliche. ~Sandy

3 stars (Good Enough) The first half and a bit was good with Charlotte being Charlotte but thereafter the screenplay became more cloying. ~Tubbs
