Leslie Felperin Guardian Viard, a gifted, protean actor who was terrific in the cop-drama Polisse and has done excellent work in dozens of French films, has incisive comic timing and also shows us a likable fragility beneath her character's bitterness. Rated: 3/5 Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter The directors get much mileage out of Nathalie's toxic behavior, with Viard drawing laughs from what's actually an extremely sad, borderline disturbing tale of one fiftysomething woman's downward spiral into alcoholism, resentment and general misery. Nov 21, 2017 Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) Jealous works from a character that does not try to fall well, or believe that comedy needs it to get the laughs. [Full Review in Spanish] Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Pablo O. Scholz Clarín Obviously without Karin Viard... the end result would not have been possible. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Rolando Gallego EscribiendoCine A film that uniquely deposits its comedy so that it resounds with the audience in the form of laughter and reflection, empathizing with the character and reflecting on women, their daily life and position in the modern world. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews Karin Viard is near-brilliant as the middle-aged mom who is showing all of the signs of menopause but is too self-possessed to understand her body's processes, never mind accepting them. Rated: B Oct 3, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
