A soldier deserts during WWI and is persuaded by his wife to masquerade as a woman to escape the law.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

[Golden Years] is an exquisitely upholstered and mysteriously provocative period drama.

Tchin's film is a surprising misfire, especially because it arrives only one year after the director's masterful Being 17.

Rated: C-

The feeling and generosity of spirit that fill the frame in the director's best offerings are conspicuously missing.

What's most scandalous about Golden Years is how Techine managed to warp something so compelling into a film so utterly conventional.

Made with typical sensitivity and craft, it may seem old-fashioned but it is a film that allows events of the past to speak directly to the present.

A very esthetical art piece and a journey through the night by André Téchiné which makes us wish we knew such a passionate love story.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A really good film with an interesting story, it may be slow sometimes but the characters are charismatic and the end is worth the watch.
