A cinema in-joke elongated beyond all reason.

A mostly charming but occasionally aggravating French farce.

The New Yorker

In this trifling meta-comedy from the French filmmaker Christophe Honoré, the actress Chiara Mastroianni embarks on a strainedly whimsical personal odyssey to examine the legacy of her late father, the legendary Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni.

National Review

On personal terms with past collaborators Deneuve and Chiara, Honoré ignores superficial celebrity to play with the prospect of spiritual empathy.

Chiara and the rest of the cast seem game for this thorny question of history and how to poetically misremember it, but Honoré shrinks from his own challenge. He ends on the classic metonymy of a deep plunge into water as a means of rebirth.

IONCINEMA.com

A decidedly affectionate homage to the daughter of two acting legends, eclipsed by both, but from their shadows creating her own unique narrative.

Rated: 3/5
