As cuttingly observed as it is pristinely composed. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter 02/27/2017
Tense as a climber's rope as it descends incrementally to a disturbing climax, luminously lensed by Jean-Louis Vialard, and packed with piercing performances from the ensemble cast, this is a cracking good film. Go to Full Review Joanne Laurier World Socialist Web Site 02/22/2021
