Sylvie Testud gives such a ferociously controlled performance that the messy murder seems like a necessary release. Go to Full Review
Fred Camper Chicago Reader Jun 17, 2013
Unfortunately Denis' detached and indifferent camera never gets inside the story, its characters, or its milieu. Go to Full Review
Keith Phipps AV Club Jun 17, 2013
