Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A work of art that immerses you in a time and place so completely that it could be a documentary.
– Richard Nilsen,
Arizona Republic,

fresh:
Sad and beautiful.
– Michael O'Sullivan,
Washington Post,

fresh:
A compelling French Canadian drama.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,

fresh:
The film seems to be saying, though, that the taking of a life -- whether by murderers or by the state -- is only possible when we refuse to recognize the humanity in others. And this is a message we all need to hear.
– Eric Harrison,
Houston Chronicle,

fresh:
Issues of life and death, love and friendship play out delicately and powerfully.
