Yasmine Kandil Little White Lies Jan 28
On occasion, the narrative feels repetitive, yet the Boukhermas embellish these moments as the story progresses with variables that culminate in the slow but steady growth of the characters at its core. Go to Full Review
Ela Bittencourt Frieze Jan 3
With lush cinematography and a throbbing 1990s-rock soundtrack, this sweet yet melancholic film establishes the Boukherma brothers as passionate chroniclers of their generation’s increasing sense of socioeconomic entrapment. Go to Full Review
David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter 09/04/2024
This is a sizable step up for the Boukherma brothers from the smaller-canvas genre films they have done up to now and they bring a satisfying cinematic sweep to the material that feels more Hollywood than French — for better or worse. Go to Full Review

3/5
The film gets off to a flying start thanks to the Scorsese-esque power of the Boukhermas' staging..However, the film loses some of its momentum when the brilliance of its romantic plot gives way to a melancholic concept...[Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Christopher Rhine Loud and Clear Reviews 10/23/2024
3/5
Does this film work? Not as an adaptation, and not as a wholly coherent piece, but it does as a stylized, vibes-based work closer to a very long music video than epic multi-generational film. Go to Full Review

Khaliel P Jun 8 One could have thought that after his dreadful acting in The Animal Kingdom, Paul Kircher could only improve. Well, no. He still has the charisma of a stale mussel. He can’t convey a single emotion and spends the entire film with the same expression, no matter what happens to him. Pathetic. He manages to ruin a film that could have been outstanding.
