This is the Mike Leigh paradis terrestre, as good as it gets. Go to Full Review
Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Nov 6, 2010
2/5
[A] Babel-ish drama about the malaises wrought by globalisation, how we're closer than ever, and yet, if I'm not mistaken, farther apart. Unfortunately, you've seen it already. Go to Full Review

Alistair Harkness Scotsman Jan 10, 2011
2/5
