New York Times

Lafosse’s empathy as a director is admirable, but “The Restless” falls short of putting a compelling story to film.

El Pais (Spain)

An abyss threatens us at every turn of the remarkable The Restless. Also sadness, and of course, fear. But what remains is compassion. [Full review in Spanish]

The strength of this film lies in its ability to not divide everything about a mental health issue into black and white.
