Sandra Hall

Sydney Morning Herald

As well as ensuring that the film avoids the cloying sweetness of Hollywood's seasonal offering, Love the Coopers, the Beliers' idiosyncrasies strike a gently subversive note.

Rated: 3/4

Sydney Morning Herald

[The Belier Family] has enormous charm and humour, a real sense of warmth within the family, and a knockout finale which, of course, involves Paula's singing.

Rated: 4/5

Emera is indeed a winning presence, and it would take a hard heart not to be moved by her rendition of Michel Sardou's Je Vole ...

Herald Sun (Australia)

Though not above tugging on the heartstrings quite hard when the mood suits, this enjoyable experience earns the right to do so keeping an earthy spirit to the fore when it counts.

The deaf, the townspeople, the teenage dreams! All exaggerated but so delightfully performed! [Full Review in Spanish]

A light and agreeable movie; it's not particularly memorable, but it's got nothing offensively bad about it either. [Full review in Spanish]

Film très touchant qui a réussi à me faire verser une larme. La fierté du père envers sa fille, vers la fin du film, est selon moi ce qu'il y a de plus touchant. La bande sonore est parfaite: Michel Sardou et son répertoire collent parfaitement à cette oeuvre. Louane est excellente dans le rôle d'une jeune femme vivant une période cruciale de sa vie tout en essayant de combler les besoins de tous ceux qui l'entourent.

Heart warming, fun and moving. I find it really sad that many people will only know the american remake because it won an oscar. This is the original version and it's definitely worth watching.

We have all seen movies with and about handicapped people, especially blind ones, from comedies to thrillers and suspense flicks. We have seen people in wheelchairs solving crimes as well as being harassed and socially excluded just like all other groups of people suffering of one or the other problem. I personally have never been so strongly being impacted to the point of crying like a little baby by a movie about handicapped, in this case a deaf family with one daughter who can hear normally. The scene during the kids presentation in school (I don't want to go into details not to spoil it) is especially heartwarming and an absolute masterpiece by the director. I think everybody should watch this movie, especially to feel a bit more compassion to all those people who are not rarely enough being pushed aside by society. It might teach us all more humility and understanding!!!
