Brizé's reputation as France's own answer to Ken Loach remains intact.

Deadline Hollywood Daily

There are people, some of them portrayed with merciless accuracy in this film, who might see this sort of sentiment as naïve, unworldly or plain old-fashioned. And maybe they are, but Brizé’s story and the way it is told are absolutely of the moment.

Always Good Movies

Adopting a realism redolent of Ken Loach, French director Stephane Brizé keeps aiming at social injustices, questioning the ferocity and blind cruelty of modern corporations.

Rated: 3.5/5

El Pais (Spain)

In the film, with beautiful fragments of baroque music in the interludes, there is credibility, emotion, hopelessness, defeat. And so on, day after day... piercing the most diverse areas of our day-to-day life. [Full review in Spanish]

A. M

Really interesting film. Loved the story arc and flawed characters. The only problem I have with the film are the rack-zoom shots. It reminds me of a student film. There were also other avant garde camera moves and editing which were beautifully adept. Wish like heck the rack-zoom shots were gone! SO distracting.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
