Derek Smith Slant Magazine The film is a bit too muddled to bring its main character fully into focus, despite Hélène Vincent’s best efforts to do so. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) In the great Ozon catalogue, this is an incidental work... [yet] fascinating and the more you think about it, the more there is to think about. Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Kevin Maher Times (UK) Vincent is perfectly engaging in the central role, and suitably ambiguous, but the characters around her are wafer-thin, their performances thinner, and nothing ever fully ignites. Rated: 2/5 Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Tom Dawson Radio Times In a strong ensemble cast, Vincent gives a superb performance, imbuing her octogenarian protagonist with a refreshing complexity. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film The delight of the drama stems from the well crafted characters, while its heft hinges on toxicity that may not be immediately obvious. Rated: 4/5 Mar 30, 2025 Full Review Alistair Harkness Scotsman To say any more risks ruining the many twisty pleasures to be found in this exquisitely acted, slow-burning drama, not least Vincent’s gently sinister performance. Rated: 4/5 Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
