French director Andre Techine sketches a family with the usual flaws, but takes the unusual step of not fixing them.

Bill Stamets, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh

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.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

... another gorgeous and immensely satisfying reminder that there are few better directors than Techine when it comes to capturing the vagaries of the heart.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe

If Changing Times' last shots don't touch you, your heart may be frozen.

Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
Rotten

... more drily sociological than dramatic.
