Makes you understand these spiky relationships in a visceral way. Even minor characters, with their strengths and faults and fits of irrationality, emerge as complicated, three-dimensional beings.

Chiara Mastroianni's performance is the only saving grace of this tedious family drama.
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
Christophe Honore's character study is one monolithic mash note for Chiara Mastroianni.
David Fear, Time Out New York
Fresh
Lena settles into a '70s American groove, with Mastroianni making an all-in, glam-free performance look easy.
Karina Longworth, Village Voice
Rotten
It's just an accumulation of bland incidents involving the central character and her family.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
