The story of a destiny. Suzanne's and her family's. The ties that bind them, keep them together, and the love she pursues... to the point of leaving everything behind.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Variety by Boyd van Hoeij

Quillevere, co-scribe Mariette Desert and editor Thomas Marchand struggle to keep audiences fully involved in the story... Thankfully, the performances are all first-rate.

Time Out London by Cath Clarke

Every emotion is bang-on; every scene unfolds grippingly and naturally; and by the end, these characters feel like people you know.

The Guardian by Catherine Shoard

The brilliance of Quillévéré's direction is in the performances she coaxes from her cast, and the clear-eyed, non-judgmental way she presents them.

Total Film by James Mottram

Quillévéré’s elliptical plot isn’t always spot-on, skipping years to a near maddening degree. But treading a fine line between poetry and realism, it’s still heartfelt and harrowing.

The Telegraph by Tim Robey

It’s a stunningly confident piece of filmmaking, which holds on to vital clues about how much time has elapsed, and what’s happened, then springs them on us. The performances slay you.
