| PRO REVIEWS |
----------------------------------------
"Magnificent in its simplicity and its relentless honesty about old age, illness and dying (...) there is never a false step or superfluous scene" (Deborah Young: The Hollywood Reporter)
----------------------------------------
"Haneke's most intimate film in nearly a quarter-century, (...) poignantly acted, uncommonly tender two-hander" (Peter Debruge: Variety)
----------------------------------------
"Michael Haneke's new film, a study of the effects of ageing and dementia on a blissful married couple, is intelligent film-making of the highest order (...) Rating: ***** (out of five)" (Peter Bradshaw: The Guardian)
----------------------------------------
"Masterwork (...) A tender, wrenching, impeccably directed story of love and death" (Manohla Dargis: The New York Times)
----------------------------------------
"Transfixing and extraordinarily touching, perhaps the most hauntingly honest movie about old age ever made"
(Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly)
----------------------------------------
"An unexpected kind of masterpiece by Haneke, whose films have included the enigmatic 'Caché' and the earlier Golden Palm winner 'The White Ribbon.' We don't expect such unflinching seriousness, such profundity (...) Rating: **** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)
