Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Makes you understand these spiky relationships in a visceral way. Even minor characters, with their strengths and faults and fits of irrationality, emerge as complicated, three-dimensional beings.

rotten:
Chiara Mastroianni's performance is the only saving grace of this tedious family drama.

fresh:
Christophe Honore's character study is one monolithic mash note for Chiara Mastroianni.
– David Fear,

fresh:
Lena settles into a '70s American groove, with Mastroianni making an all-in, glam-free performance look easy.

rotten:
It's just an accumulation of bland incidents involving the central character and her family.
