- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Guediguian's lengthy period yarn features a wide array of characters filmed with his habitual simpatico eye, but loses the dramatic thread in too many plots, too little action and not enough originality."
-
"Though it drags here and there and is a bit flat in places, the film is solidly made and for the most part quite involving."
-
"Compelling performances and beautifully told heroics but the pacing is flawed in terms of a thrilling cinematic experience"
