Vous guessed it by now: Triplettes is terrific.
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
Fresh
A winning blend of dark and bittersweet, aimed more at adults than kiddies, but suitable for all ages.
Lisa Nesselson, Variety

Geoff Andrew, Time Out

It's impossible to watch this movie without gasping at its graphics, and yet we're so drawn into Chomet's way of seeing that, after a while, his genius erases the distinction between animation and live action.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture
