Critic Reviews

Michael Wilmington

This magnificent pair are the heart of Techine's film, and the sense of frayed, aging beauty and handsomeness they now carry helps project the picture's main theme: the imperishability of true love. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Volatile and sometimes daring performances by Catherine Deneuve, Gerard Depardieu, Gilbert Melki, Malik Zidi, and Lubna Azabal (as twins) contribute to the highly charged and novelistic experience. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

A thoughtful and reflective love story about the impact of time on true love. Read full review

Noel Murray

There's something uniquely pleasurable about watching a director in total command of his craft, even when that craft is in service of a scattershot melodrama with pale intimations of social relevance. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

While incontrovertibly light compared to contemporary master of melodrama Andre Techine's best work, this 2005 romance is best enjoyed as the welcome reunion of two of French cinema's most beloved stars. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Techine doesn't have much of a story to tell, so instead of moving the narrative forward, he expands it laterally. Read full review

Andrew O'Hehir

It's kind of a mess. An agreeable, even lovable mess, but still a mess. Read full review

Swirlling and human film. It's charged and moving. I loved it. Nice to see Deneuve and Depardieu together again. Téchiné is brilliant.

Truly a gem! It's indecisive and free. Very enjoyable film.

Techine is a masterful director of actors, excelling in making you care about all the characters and their lives (the least interesting being the central plot, and Depardieu's character). Remarkably satfisying, even though--or because?-- the stories are left open-ended.
