Sinekatalog’s take

Manu returns home for her mother's birthday and finds that the visit stirs both old memories and difficult present tensions. A French family drama in a small, intimate register, best for those who like quiet reunions with emotional undercurrents.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
