Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Director Andre Techine's story is one of subtle emotional tones that require the most of an actor, and the cast is uniformly compelling.
– Colin Covert,
Minneapolis Star Tribune,
13 Mar 2008
fresh:
The Witnesses doesn't pay off with a great operatic pinnacle, but it's better that way. Better to show people we care about facing facts they care desperately about, without the consolation of plot mechanics.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
16 May 2008
fresh:
Andre Techine's film features a strong ensemble cast. The film pulls no punches in its depiction of lives in crisis.
– V.A. Musetto,
New York Post,
16 Jul 2008
fresh:
Techine's graceful, forceful drama has the tact not to play narrative games with its subject.
– Michael Phillips,

Excitingly convoluted.
