| Montreal GazetteT'Cha DunlevyThere is admirable restraint in his storytelling, and a resistance of mainstream tropes, but the technique is almost too effective. It takes a while to pull us in. |
| User ReviewFacebook UComo mucho del cine francés esto resulta lento, aburrido y buenísimo. La historia de eta madre y su hijo, un tanto perdedor, gira alrededor de la eutanasia y de la falta de comunicación entre los dos por conflictos muy profundos. Muchos temas alrededor de esta gran película sencilla y con grandes actuaciones. Gracias al EuroCine Bogotá |
