	Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"A work which will leave no-one cold (...) [Its cinematography] impressively transcends on-paper obstacles with ease, to tell this detailed account of the 'banalities' of passion"	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"A compelling, formally adventurous drama highlighting a superb performance by Laetitia Dosch."	POS
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"An imperfect but glassily compelling study of obsessive, finally debilitating desire that honors its source with an unblinking female gaze."	POS
United Kingdom	Huw Oliver Time Out	"Dosch’s charisma and Arbid’s fluid style suffice to convey the full intensity of this particular histoire d’amour (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Laetitia Dosch lavishes all her underappreciated star quality on this insouciantly explicit movie about amour fou and erotic obsession (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
