The directing by the Dardenne brothers reflects their previous work: it wants to be unnoticed either for virtuosity or clumsiness, yet only virtuosos can attain this ideal.

It's nonetheless immensely satisfying - not least in its commitment to a child protagonist whose near-feral intensity and unthinking ingratitude make him the polar opposite of cute.

There is not a wasted shot in this stripped down, pared back fable. Yet, it accrues a deep and lasting power. You won't see many better this year.

The film should be required viewing for everyone who has lost faith in the power of random acts of kindness.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

This is a film that's not always easy to watch, but just about impossible to forget.
