Anita Gates New York Times It's a quietly compelling story. And two-thirds of the way through, there's an elating good-news revelation worthy of a 1930s screwball comedy. Oct 1, 2015 Full Review Mike McCahill Guardian Glamourpuss Louise Bourgoin - as the kid's helpfully single mother - flaunts a stick-on shoulder tattoo in a bid to pass for blowsy working-class, while Rochefort offers little more than walking bedhead atop stock Gallic stubble. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E Not very compelling and extremely slow moving. Before the titles we see the police clearing what it appears to be a homeless community. The first fifteen minutes of the story supply no connection to the episode. The hero is a substitute teacher who ends up taking care of one of his students, whose parents are divorced, over a lost weekend. The editing and story telling is quite disjointed. At some point we are at a long table where a group of young people are having lunch. A few minutes later we learn that one of the young women present is the boy’s mother. I found it impossible to continue. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/27/25 Full Review Audience Member Not so impressed by the story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Il est des secrets qu'il ne faudrait pas deterrer. Nicole Garcia nous promet un road movie avec un Pierre Rochefort taciturne Ryangoslinguesque mais s'enlise en definitive dans un drame familial laborieux et pas tres fin. Meme Bourgoin pourtant impeccable finit eclipsee... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
