One of the best French films of the year.
03/26/03
Strives toward greatness, toward a complete understanding of life in the roiling, unsettled, complex locale they call Marseilles, and its partial success must be applauded.

Director Robert Guédiguian, who wrote the script with Jean-Louis Milesi and co-produced his film, delivers a story that's particularly French but also sadly universal.
08/09/02
For all of the apparent naturalness on screen, Guediguian's grim vision comes off as far too calculated.

Top CriticThis ville is far from tranquille, but the French twist on this emotional powerhouse keeps proceedings meditative as things go into the gutter.

It's got a lot on its plate, and sometimes it overindulges, loses focus and plays too obviously. Still, it manages to remain forceful and moving.

Top CriticMore successful as sociological argument than as cinematic narrative.

At two hours, this movie seems to drag on and on as the tragedies pile up. I found myself looking at my watch more than I was looking at the screen. If the town were a little more quiet, I would have taken a nap

It's a strong viewing experience but definitely worth the effort.
