criticism

“You could add“ The Better Life ”to the many other failed attempts to update Buñuel's“ Belle de jour ”and Godard's“ Vivre sa vie ”on film - if it weren't for Juliette Binoche. From the meager sketch that the film throws at her, she makes a great study of middle-class longing and loneliness. "

- Andreas Kilb : Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
