It's not Armstrong's best, and yet it's a pleasure to watch her tell a story through subtle details and interior moments. Go to Full Review
Anthony Lane The New Yorker 04/06/2020
This fluent, hopeful comedy (and it is a comedy, for all the encroachments of sadness) charts every shift in the emotional climate. Go to Full Review
Sheila Johnston Independent (UK) 11/13/2017
It's a low-key affair, whose refusal to spell out its points too loudly is commendable but also a little unsatisfying -- too many details never quite come into focus. Go to Full Review
Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 10/11/2019
Scripted by Australian writer Helen Garner, Chez Nous purrs with fine-tuned emotional detail. Original writing, dead-on acting and arresting images combine to create a seamless intelligence. Go to Full Review

07/31/2017 Powerful film about disintegration of a marriage. Excellent film. Unlike some other films with this subject, we get to see the good and fun times in the family, and connect to the family and the different members. And then, surprised by the turn it takes. Powerful performance esp. by Bruno Ganz and Lisa Harrow. See more 04/23/2017 Between a 7/10 and 8/10., I like movies like this because I get to meet people whom it would be entertaining to know - at a certain distance. See more 03/26/2016 Not bad,but the ending was not the best See more 09/26/2012 A superficial and sometimes unrealistic look at relationships. I mean, if your husband is cheating on you with your very own sister, do you go out with him on a cheerful and jolly walk to discuss what may have been or what was? See more 08/23/2011 Sister moves in, sisters fucks and steals husband, husband and sister moves out. I am surprised how things never get ugly. For me smashing up a toilet doesn't count. Anyway, Miranda Otto is damn young and delicious. See more 04/18/2010 Very odd film that is surprisingly effective. The Australians have been producing high quality works for the last couple of decades now. See more Read all reviews
