100
Remarkable movie.
75
Has its sluggish stretches, but the superb level of acting is more than ample compensation.
75
Celebrates a larger-than-life heroism that is, sadly, all too rare.
100
A grand, dark, grave, severe piece of first-rate cinema.
80
For the director, Mr. Leconte, and for the usually volcanic Mr. Auteuil, the quiet, cumulative power of this film is a striking departure from the dazzling energy of their previous collaboration in "Girl on the Bridge."
91
Leconte's signature on the film alone makes it worth seeing.
