| Film Journal InternationalDavid NohThere is not a single laugh or really emotionally involving moment one can cling to here. |
| TV GuideKen FoxIt all comes down to Nolot's marvelous performance: His Pierre is sulky, morose, self-centered and curiously likeable, and Nolot leaves you wanting to know a bit more about just where this odd figure might be headed. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayIt's hardly a rosy picture of what it's like to be gay and 60 in Paris. But it's an engrossing picture. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineA quietly contemplative film about a man looking back on his life, this funny and heartbreaking film features several surprising twists that make it well worth a look. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordThe visuals are stunning, as is the use of music...unforgettable. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin Clifford[Jacques] Nolot, in his actor's hat, creates a melancholy, often-sad character that I grew to have a great deal of empathy for. |
| San Francisco ChronicleDavid WiegandA film one can admire, but it is not "likable," per se, nor does its director wish it to be. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIt's a simple-looking film with a complicated center. But there's a kind of sadness in the film that remains untapped, perhaps because Pierre himself isn't ready for it. |
| Time OutDavid JenkinsWriter-director-actor Jacques Nolot (below) delivers a bold, searching and open-hearted turn as the subject of this confessional study of life as an elderly gay gent in the French capital. |
| Film4Jon FortgangA sombre description of age and regret delivered with a deceptively light touch. Wry, tender, full of sympathy and wonderfully acted by Jacques Nolot. |
