| The SpectatorHarriet WaughToo soft-centered, too bucolically beautiful and too idealized for my taste. |
| User ReviewPhilippe DParfait contre-point a La Gloire de mon Pere, le film sait prendre un ton different et raconter des choses encore plus sensibles que dans le premier film, et cette fin qui prend aux tripes ! |
| User ReviewMiriam RThis is an incredible movie that shows the bond between a mother and child. The location is breathtaking. |

| User ReviewMark HComing of age in Provence at the turn of the century. We have seen this film 8 times in the past month. It is a heartwarming story of a French family, and a celebration of love within the family. |
