“Hansen-Løve hits a career high note, delivering a quietly thoughtful and ultimately life-affirming portrait of the strange interaction between loss and rebirth. It’s a miraculous balancing act that pretty much took my breath away.”
★★★★★ Mark Kermode, Observer (UK)
 

“Some flicks need a bearded assassin or ghostface killer to create drama. Hansen-Løve just needs the stuff of real life.”
★★★★★ Ian Freer, Empire Magazine

"It explores love, both romantic and familial, with no trace of drama or sappiness, and without ever feeling slight. It’s a balm of a film and another glorious showcase for the director’s light touch when dealing with complicated emotions."
★★★★★ Anna Bogutskaya, Time Out
 

“In a tender, intelligent film, everything has a dual role: mournful and playful, freighted and weightless.”
★★★★ Danny leigh, Financial Times
 

“Quiveringly emotional, radiant and smart, Seydoux’s performance in this Paris-set drama about a single mother’s twinned crises might even be a career-best.”
★★★★ Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph
