According to Les Inrockuptibles:

“Filming his characters stranded in an abandoned principality during the Christmas holidays, the director of ‘Sophia Antipolis’ achieves a powerful political scan of the era.” by Ludovic Beot – 5/5

According to Cahiers du Cinéma:

“In this film, which opens like a fairy tale, there is indeed wonder, but a hidden wonder that Vernier ironically throws at his characters, a trio of disillusioned orphans. By Vincent Malauza – 4/5

According to L’Obs:

“That doesn’t stop a young man from warming up to an extremely wealthy 12-year-old girl, who is sometimes orphaned by New Year’s circumstances. Their silent complicity makes the film strange and charming. The fluidity between pure enchantment and hidden bromance.” By Guillaume Loyson – 4/5

According to the seventh obsession:

“This Christmas tale, both contemporary and dystopian, full of secret memories and future promises, is without a doubt the most beautiful jewel in its creator’s already sparkling body of work. By Jerome D’Este – 4/5

According to Liberation:

“In the filmmaker’s third feature film, we find his keen awareness of ultra-modern places, their particular architecture and vibration, bearers of grandiose hopes for the future, of a triumphant capitalism that we now know to be obsolete. by Elisabeth Franck-Dumas – 4/5

According to Defector:

“One hundred thousand billion then resembles an eschatological version of the One Thousand and One Nights, in which the prism of catastrophe is seen as the last remedy for the evil of the century. Dupin by Corentin Detefan – 4/5

According to Télérama:

“The director of Mercuriales and Sophia Antipolis gently explores this quiet young man’s wanderings amid a gallery of mismatched characters, focusing mainly on the Christmas decorations, artwork and cranes that have consumed the principality: urban spleen as the only solution? By Augustine Pietron-Locatelli – 4/5

According to Critikat.com:

“Thanks to this hybrid imagination, the Monegasque territory can be understood in all its strangeness, away from the dominant representations that have locked down perception by attaching an economic-social discourse to it. By Robin Vaz – 3/5
