Reviews

“Better to live in an unusual way” is a warm-hearted film full of funny ideas that is authentic and far less over-the-top than you might think. Everything could happen exactly as director Gabriel Julien-Laferrière describes it in his great comedy. "

- André Wesche : Augsburger Allgemeine

"Turbulent and charming, but ultimately also harmless French comedy."

- Katharina Granzin : film starts

“Better to live in an unusual way” conveys the image of a childhood in which there are neither secrets nor a reason for curiosity. Symptomatic is the camera's disinterest in the apartment that the children are occupying. Although located in the charming old building, it is only used as decor, not for discovery. Every hint of magic dissipates. In fact, there is no temptation to grow old. That is truly life without any prospect of meaning. "

- Andreas Günther : Weser Courier
