"The dialogue is exquisite and the always-fascinating Dirk Bogarde and Jane Birkin have a magic dynamic here. It will be very slow for some but if you like leisurely, subtle French filmmaking, this one's absolutely beautiful and worth the tears. Bonus features are truly a bonus: check out the long, chatty interview with Jane and director Colo Tavernier -- very engaging and insightful. Any woman with a complex father/daughter relationship should see both the movie and that interview. The English/French dialogue shifts add some interesting texture to the character relationships as well."
Brilliant!

"This grand drama sees Dirk Bogarde in his last performance, yet one of his best. A film of great dignity, it really makes one think about how precious life really is. A must."
