Genevieve Dichiara Little White Lies 1d
4/5
At just over two hours, some scenes begin to circle familiar emotional ground, slowing the film’s momentum. But that patience ultimately reflects the story itself: healing is rarely dramatic, and neither is loss. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 1d
3/5
This is an intelligent, sophisticated, sensual movie that never quite arrives at the explosively passionate moment it appears to promise. Go to Full Review India Lawrence Time Out 6d
4/5
Ultimately Krieps’ superb performance is enough to propel this deliberately drawn-out film forward. Even her most minute facial expressions can be heartbreaking. Go to Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman 1d

...the film works almost like a corrective to landmark divorce drama Kramer vs Kramer, providing a detailed portrait of a woman trying to be a both herself and a mother... Go to Full Review Jayne Nelson Radio Times 5d
4/5
Director Anna Cazenave Cambet, adapting Constance Debré's loosely autobiographical book, keeps a tight hold of both the script and her camera. Go to Full Review Andrea G. Bermejo Cinemanía (Spain) May 26
A radical, honest, tough film that cuts as deep as those fierce attachments its protagonist tries to renounce. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Luciano C @Luciano164 May 29 A slow and boring movie. The issue it raises is understood at the very beginning, and then it drags on for more than two hours without any real development. It keeps repeating the same ideas and concepts over and over. It tries to be artistic and avant-garde, but only achieves monotony. I do not recommend it at all. See more Read all reviews
