According to wilycopresto it is a “A very beautiful film that benefits from a judiciously chosen cast. Didier Bourdon gives his role with great alertness and his story is impressive from beginning to end. We knew him in the comic style, but in the drama he is sublime. In a difficult role. Judith Chemla pierces the screen. A film of great sensitivity, exaggerated and communicative. No depression. Lots of tact in the story. Excellent.”
