    Acaso la más accesible de las cintas que han realizado los hermanos Dardenne pero, de todas maneras, anclada en los mismos temas y en las mismas preocupaciones de siempre. Como de costumbre, los belgas usan de manera magistral las más abruptas elipsis narrativas.

    I thought it was going to be trite, because of the events of the initial half hour, but I ended being deeply involved. Because the characters told a convincing story I was slowly drawn in to their strange world. The film unfolds with a beauty of understatement.

    The film doesn't pack the same cumulative wallop as the brothers' earlier work, but its low-key artistry, immaculate construction and fine performance by relative newcomer Arta Dobroshi should rouse the usual fest acclaim and arthouse interest.

    The Dardennes retain a company of returning players: Jérémie Renier, Fabrizio Rongione, and Olivier Gourmet. Such loyalty is rare and touching.
  3. A stunning study of one desperate woman's conscience.
