Washington Post

A film that wears its emotions lightly but generously, like dew on a blush-colored petal.

Rated: 2.5/4

Variety

Veteran César winner Catherine Frot lends some gravitas to this amiable, underwritten story of an independent rose farmer taking desperate measures to stay in business.

It’s a relaxed film, one that allows the audience to sit back and, if not smell the roses, then at least appreciate them.

Elements of Madness

The film may not be as exotic as the flowers Eve and her team bring to market, but there still remains something moving in the air upon completion.

Rated: 3.5/5

What She Said

This edgy, fun, and gorgeous film puts big business under the scope and celebrates, the fascinating world of roses, it’s a love story and a world of eye-popping fun. And you’ll know how to hybridise a rose by the end. Magic.

a short and sweet story that was beautiful to watch. you'll know the whole film from the first 5 minutes and there are no surprises along the way. all the notes are purely struck, the acting is right on, and the tag line, 'what is life without beauty' is in every frame.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
