[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-

Hollywood Reporter

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.
