Reviews
80
Deftly sidestepping both melodrama and family-values messaging, Poppe imbues the film with enormous emotional resonance, brilliantly grounded by his leading lady.
70
An affecting drama made more poignant by honest-feeling autobiographical elements.
60
Empire
A compelling, if well worn , topic — work/life balance — is brought vividly to life by a great Binoche performance.
60
Director Erik Poppe’s worthy intentions are nearly undone by an undisciplined screenplay. Still, he marshals two strong performances.
60
Time Out London
It’s as handsomely shot as any film about an ace shutterbug ought to be, and Binoche infuses familiar internal crises with palpable pain and urgency.
