-
"A Masterpiece"
-
"Under Leconte's artful direction, a believable bond develops between the men, each envious of the direction the other's life has taken."
-
"For the most part, [Leconte] pulls back and lets the two stars do their thing. And they do it marvelously."
-
"A beautifully deft, witty character study."
-
"The movie is as contemplative, gentle, and subdued as it is understatedly funny."
