Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter An engrossing depiction of severe occupational hazards... Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety Brizé's reputation as France's own answer to Ken Loach remains intact. Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury 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. Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Filipe Freitas 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 Oct 15, 2022 Full Review Javier Ocaña 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] May 31, 2022 Full Review Manu Yáñez Fotogramas ... A moral fable about a family's struggle against the dehumanizing force of capitalism. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 May 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

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 01/03/25 Full Review Read all reviews
