Sinekatalog’s take
Arnaud Desplechin's rich, restless film juggles comedy and tragedy around a woman's past lovers and a dying father. Emmanuelle Devos and Mathieu Amalric are superb, with Catherine Deneuve in support, in a daring, sprawling tragicomedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
