      Adam Woodward Little White Lies Renier just about manages to keep things afloat, but ultimately there's not enough wind in the film's sails to keep it on course for its near-two-hour duration. Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter A slow-burn police drama that never fully ignites. Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian There is no very satisfying resolution to the situation. Yet this doesn't take away from the dignity and potency of Renier's performance. Rated: 3/5 Mar 3, 2021 Full Review Patrick Preziosi In Review Online [The] existentialism is merely nominal, only evinced by a grossly manipulative twist that prioritizes drama over actual human feeling. Jun 6, 2021 Full Review Demetrios Matheou The Arts Desk It's both a gripping and touching film, informed by a lovely depiction of family life, and superbly led by Dardennes regular Renier. Rated: 3/5 Apr 19, 2021 Full Review Mariona Borrull El antepenúltimo mohicano Fortunately, for most of the film [writer and director Xavier] Beauvois displays the skill of discretion.
