A small-scale gem of a movie, both dramatically aware and psychologically astute.

A gentle, melancholy drama so pale and tentative that its very colors appear washed away by grief.

Decades apart in age, Caille and Bouquet both exemplify artful restraint - deciphering their tiniest gesture is a deeply rewarding experience.

3.5/5

Understated and complex, The Little Bedroom is a quietly engaging drama.

The Little Bedroom is intelligent and sensitive and yet leaves one rather cold. The very tastefulness with which these women have framed this story keeps the viewer at arm's length, as does the rather antiseptic look of the film...

A little film that looks like nothing but gnaw very well into life and death. No psychopath, no bomb, no shooting. Just plain life where the events connect very well to make a consistent narrative. Life is hard sometimes and decent people like to make it better. Sometimes we get attached, there are reasons for it. Beautiful little film full of little adventures and big hearts.
