	Media	Author	Review
		Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"A soberly filmed but emotionally gratifying introduction to an array of involuntary patients in a French psychiatric hospital (...) There’s genuine and inadvertent humor in the midst of sadness"
		Wendy Ide The Guardian	"A devastating glimpse into broken souls (...) This is a remarkable piece of work (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A modern master's look at madness (...) This quietly riveting film deserves, like most of Depardon's work, to be seen by wider audiences."
		Barbara Scharres rogerebert.com	"The film is composed largely of carefully composed but unembellished scenes (...) It’s all starkly clinical content but nakedly human in its impact."
		The Globe and Mail	"[A] severely formal and moving portrait of involuntarily hospitalized patients arguing for their release before a judge."
