Critic Reviews
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
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.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Chiara Mastroianni's performance is the only saving grace of this tedious family drama.
-
David Fear, Time Out New York
Christophe Honoré's character study is one monolithic mash note for Chiara Mastroianni.
-
Karina Longworth, Village Voice
Lena settles into a '70s American groove, with Mastroianni making an all-in, glam-free performance look easy.
-
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
It's just an accumulation of bland incidents involving the central character and her family.
