[Deneuve] conveys in every scene a convincing and touching openness to life as experienced in the moment.
Claude Peck, Minneapolis Star Tribune
Overview
Deneuve plays sassy grandmother Bettie who takes to the road after being betrayed by her lover and learning her business is on the verge of bankruptcy on the same day. During a weeklong odyssey across France, she spends time with a grandson she hardly knows and reconnects with her past as former Miss Brittany through a reunion for former beauty queens.

Deneuve, fine as always, subtly emphasizes the character's self-destructive side, providing a little medicine to help the sugar go down.
Ben Sachs, Chicago Reader

You can tell Deneuve is relishing the chance to play not a great beauty, not a national legend, but a simple, human basket case - a woman who has been her own worst enemy for so long that she's ready to give up the fight.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Fresh
A droll if minor dramatic comedy about a woman who goes out for a pack of smokes and ends up on an odyssey of self-discovery through the back roads and tiny villages of rural France.
Tirdad Derakhshani, Philadelphia Inquirer

These series of vignettes still leave an impression, thanks in no small part to Deneuve.
