April 2020 – Lockdown. Etienne, a film director, and his brother Paul, a music journalist, are confined together in their childhood home with their new partners Morgane and Carole. Every room, every object, reminds them of their childhood, and the memories of the absents - their parents, their neighbors…This compels them to measure the distance that separates them from each other and the roots they share, those of their ground zero. As the world around them is becoming increasingly unsettling, unreality, and even a disturbing strangeness, invades their daily gestures and actions.

David Jenkins Little White Lies The film ambles along in a very agreeable seriocomic fashion and does not concern itself with a contrived dramatic arc. Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) There’s really nothing happening beyond the self-consciously artsy chat between Paul, brother Etienne (Micha Lescot) and poorly sketched partners. Rated: 2/5 Feb 20, 2024 Full Review Adam Solomons indieWire Its over-reliance on pandemic rituals stops it from being able to explore its deeper feelings in a full way, and places it in a genre that no one seems able to crack. Maybe it’s time to stop trying. Rated: C+ Feb 18, 2024 Full Review Mariona Borrull Fotogramas It's escapism, but escapism of the good kind. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) Assayas builds a sort of confessional film for those initiated into his life and work that mixes a tone of familial documentary and autobiographical comedy a la Woody Allen but with less humor, while still somewhat revealing... [Full review in Spanish] Nov 27, 2024 Full Review Philipp Engel Cinemanía (Spain) Although the film, and its bucolic Finzi Contini-style garden, maintains interest, and even makes us laugh a few times, there is no doubt that we are faced with another minor Assayas, far below Personal Shopper.
