Rotten
For all of the apparent naturalness on screen, Guediguian's grim vision comes off as far too calculated.
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune

It's a pitiless film, uncompromising in what it shows us.

Always, one gets the sense that this film is coming from some place real, and terrible.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

...the film's characters are familiar, real-life people, whose sadness reaches out from the screen.
