Fissures (Écoute le temps) Reviews
Film4
all moody set-up with no real follow-through -- like an initially striking sound that has been dampened before it can resonate.
Independent
Having set up its line of murder suspects the film sheers off into supernatural hokum and never really recovers.

This is London
Kavaite's film is well made and acted but less than credible.

It doesn't take long for the sheer invention of the filmmaking to seep through the sludgy illusion, making for a perceptive, engaging thriller.

Financial Times
Here is the French countryside at its most sinister: sideways glances from hostile natives, inbred yokels, disappearing children, corrupt politicians . . .
Shadows on the Wall
Assembled with insinuating skill by Kavaite into a gripping, involving, beautifully unfolding mystery.

Daily Telegraph
There are shades of the excellent Brian De Palma/John Travolta thriller Blow Out (1981) in this eerie little effort.
BBC
An atmospheric, slow-burning chiller that rewards the patient viewer with just enough jumps and bumps.

Little White Lies
If anything, the concept is a little too high, but fans of Dominik Moll and the Dardennes will find much to enjoy.
Total Film
The narrative threads are tied a little too neatly, but it's a promising debut.
