    USA Today Claudia Puig

    Writer/director Philippe Claudel knows just how to structure a character study of this sort, so that key elements and important secrets are revealed over time, piquing our interest. The film is almost like a novel or short story, so one's curiosity is satisfied slowly.

    The New York Times A.O. Scott

    A revelation comes near the end that is both tremendously moving and a bit disappointing, in the way that the solutions to great mysteries frequently are.

    Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan

    Performances this strong and direction this sensitive make us simply grateful to have an emotional story we can sink our teeth into and enjoy.

    Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

    Philippe Claudel gives his heroine unusual depth, which Kristin Scott Thomas reveals with unusual passion.
