The Guardian
There’s a soothing Altmanesque drift about this French drama. - 60
Time Out London
Fitfully entertaining, with some grabby trial scenes, the film struggles to find a proper, engaging focus. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
The film’s main problem is that it can’t decide what it wants to be and ends up not having enough time to develop anything in any depth. - 50
Variety
Vincent’s calm, almost strenuously low-key film never gathers enough emotional momentum to become a fully dimensional romance — which might be its poignant intention. - 40
Total Film
Luchini’s excellent, but this is guilty of gross tonal uncertainty.
