Stephen Holden, New York Times

Makes you understand these spiky relationships in a visceral way. Even minor characters, with their strengths and faults and fits of irrationality, emerge as complicated, three-dimensional beings. Full Review

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter

Chiara Mastroianni's performance is the only saving grace of this tedious family drama. Full Review

Karina Longworth

Karina Longworth, Village Voice

Lena settles into a '70s American groove, with Mastroianni making an all-in, glam-free performance look easy. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

It's just an accumulation of bland incidents involving the central character and her family. Full Review

David Fear

David Fear, Time Out New York

Christophe Honoré's character study is one monolithic mash note for Chiara Mastroianni. Full Review

Ed Gonzalez

Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine

With Téchiné-like expertise, Honoré delicately weaves together the dramas of his characters' lives. Full Review

David Noh

David Noh, Film Journal International

This study of a difficult woman, without a truly electrifying actress in the role, never catches fire. Full Review

Simon Foster, sbs.com.au

The thought of an overnight stay with this eccentric, self-centred bunch - even in the beautiful countryside of Brittany - is chilling. 105 minutes was more than enough... Full Review
