Assayas is masterful in using offscreen sounds to conjure up a novelistic sense of milieu and in handling various ceremonies, and the film's lush texture explains why he called it his anti-Dogma film.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
Ambitious, efficient, sensitive, but a little disappointing.

More than a few of us would show up for the chance to see and hear Huppert and Beart read from the Limoges telephone directory. Assayas can count himself lucky for that.

Rotten
Opens at a funeral, ends on the protagonist's death bed and doesn't get much livelier in the three hours in between.
