Reviews
Ö1 writes that it is the "well-hidden potential of lies, deceptions and self-deception that makes this film an exciting search puzzle, a family story that detects everyday pitfalls in little things and unobtrusively turns them out" and the cinema magazine Cinema found that the film is an "award-winning, wonderfully played family drama with a striking resolution". Lioret has "created a great family drama as well as a thriller and romance film," judges Deutschlandradio Kultur .
The falling voltage in the second part of the film and its end were sometimes negatively noted. The performance of Mélanie Laurent as Lili, on the other hand, was unanimously celebrated. Deutschlandradio Kultur attested that she embodied the character “with a rare intensity”, “melancholy, almost like a dream, removed from the world and with tremendous charm.” And, according to Welt, she succeeds “with an incredible intensity and a great economy of acting Means to embody a change ”.
