    A terrific piece of neo-realistic filmmaking.
  2. Strikes a difficult and necessary moral balance, refusing to succumb to hopelessness but also refusing to rule it out.

    A tender and passionate protest, not without laughter, by Bertrand Tavernier -- a director who is not only gifted but honorable.

    A superb performance from Torreton, easily one of the finest actors working in France today.
