Leave your thoughts about Milla.
| The New York TimesTeo BugbeeMilla is a major achievement, a film that is at once as delicate as it is strong, a fitting testament to motherhood, to survival. |
| Slant MagazineJake ColeValérie Massadian's Milla begins with a stylistic bait-and-switch that neatly summarizes the film's overall sense of formal balance. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlWe observe moments of living rather than the beats of a story, all that natural lighting and everyday quiet stirring the sense of lives taking shape before our eyes. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinAlthough this quietly daring, decidedly nonjudgmental film doesn’t ask or answer a lot of questions, it paints a cumulatively vivid portrait of young love and early motherhood. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt has small ambitions, but comes across as an engaging film that deserves our attention. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe emotional moments that push her life in new directions must be colored in by the audience. Though that never feels like much of an intellectual challenge, and the 127-minute film is in no hurry to paint its picture, something about Milla's ordinariness makes her worth getting to know. |
| Eye for FilmJennie KermodeJonckeere is ebullient in the lead yet there's a subtlety to her performance that communicates Milla's gradual passage from a life driven by instinct to one where she must take responsibility not only for herself but for her son. |
| User Reviewm15964So boring, I even could not watch it completely and watched half of this movie two days after I watched it for the first time. I don't understand why this movie has this high score from the critiques. |
