Barberie Bichette, known to her biggest despair as Barbie, may have been beautiful, a good mother, a reliable colleague, a great lover, yes, perhaps… but that was before she predictably and inevitably turned 55 (and much more to come!). Now, things are getting darker, sometimes violent and often absurd. How then will she deal with her own self, others, and simply life in general?

Guy Lodge Variety Minus the director’s first-hand input, editor François Quiqueré assembles what may be an appropriately diffuse patchwork of a life in disarray, but the structuring stresses and specificities that make a rich character study are missing. May 16, 2024 Full Review Christian Blauvelt indieWire The film she’s left behind, though, is as personal a legacy as one could imagine; if, sadly, an incomplete one. If “This Life of Mine” feels imbued with Fillières in every frame, it feels less like Fillières’ film in its editing, Rated: B- May 15, 2024 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter Brutally honest and occasionally hilarious. May 15, 2024 Full Review Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine Besides that lightly worn ambiguity, This Life of Mine’s other strengths include that it’s often very funny despite the emotional heaviness... May 30, 2024 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine The film seeks shock in the farewell, in the acceptance of the end. [Full review in Spanish] May 22, 2024 Full Review Jara Yáñez Caimán Cuadernos de Cine A lucid and not at all complacent self-portrait that hides beneath humor (somewhat dark), a bitter drawing of crisis at fifty.
