Claire Denis, not always an easy director, is in top form here directing an almost all-black cast with grace and delicacy. For the happy few, this is French art house cinema at its unpretentious best.
-
100You can live in a movie like this.
-
10035 Shots of Rum is visual poetry, but poetry that examines the human condition with insight and illumination.
-
100Involves the gradual revelation of the hopes, fears and insecurities of well-observed characters.
-
100To fall in love with it, viewers only have to be receptive to a movie that examines the ties that bind with grace, wit and depth.
-
100For 20 years, Claire Denis has been among France's foremost filmmakers with her acute yet subtle observations of the ebbs and flows within relationships. Her perception and understanding seem to grow only richer over the years, and her newest film, 35 Shots of Rum, is surely one of her finest -- and thereby one of the best films of the year.
-
100In its modest scope and mellow tone, 35 Shots of Rum resembles Olivier Assayas’s "Summer Hours," another recent film by a French director who has sometimes trafficked in provocation and extremity. Both movies embed extraordinary thematic richness within a simple, almost anecdotal narrative framework, and both achieve a rare eloquence about the state of the world by means of tact and reticence.
-
100The film evolves into a simple, intimate, acutely emotional portrait of a family reaching a painful crossroads.
-
9035 Shots is Denis's warmest, most radiant work, honoring a family of two's extreme closeness while suggesting its potential for suffocation.
-
90Claire Denis’ latest may appear whisper-thin on the surface, yet it’s marvelously profound, illuminating the love between a father and daughter but also highlighting the difficulty of relinquishing what most people spend a lifetime putting into place.
-
It's a beautiful picture but very quietly so, and definitely not for the ADHD set.
-
88Denis -- who has called the film a tribute to the great Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu -- keeps dialogue to a minimum as she delicately examines how immigration is changing the face of France.
-
88I liked these characters, and suddenly not having them in my life anymore, simply because Denis has decided to start the closing credits, devastated me.
-
80There is never a shortage of options if you're looking for an intimate foreign drama about family bonds. But the eloquent insights of director Claire Denis stand alone.
-
80Superbly played and realised, this stays with you.
-
75The French actor Alex Descas is mesmerizing in 35 Shots of Rum, where he plays a metro conductor.
-
Hushed minimalism is a rare and appealing quality in the cinema these days, but so little happens in 35 Shots of Rum that I'm hard-pressed to describe the plot. It doesn't exactly have one.
