It’s Cotillard canon, and one for the director’s top tier, without doubt. Go to Full Review
Peter Bradshaw Guardian 05/21/2022
2/5
This is exasperatingly nonsensical and humourless: it is full of grand gestures, gigantically self-important acting, big scenes (though often bafflingly truncated), big emotions and smirkingly knowing dialogue. Go to Full Review

Brother and Sister seems more like a retread (and a retreat) than anything that’s come prior, marking a new step forward for the lauded director by taking a disappointing step back. Go to Full Review

Both Cortillard and Poupaud are marvelous as they act out the beautifully written script by Desplechin. It's the most emotionally resonant Desplechin film in years. Go to Full Review

Open to appreciation on a number of different levels, Brother and Sister is pure Desplechin minus the self-mythologizing, a slight reset that still maintains the director’s sly humor and destabilizing approach to sequencing Go to Full Review
