- 50ObserverRex ReedObserverRex ReedDespite good performances from a first-rate cast, the problem here is that the movie was written and directed by Amanda Sthers, who adapted it from her own novel. The result is too literary, but not in a good way. It’s choppy like paragraphs from a book, instead of chapters.

- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawA good performance from Tom Hollander can’t save this stodgy, ungainly and strangely reactionary family drama from the French writer-director Amanda Sthers.

- 30The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThe Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerThis treacly and overwrought piece of mishegoss from French novelist turned director Amanda Sthers is pretty much a chore from start to finish.
