Dec 26, 2018I don't like that the daughter's unnecessary subplot doesn't go anywhere, but Denis Ménochet is fantastic here, embodying threat and despair in an anguishing drama that should remind everyone that there is no way to judge a situation fairly when you know only half the story.Carlos M Super Reviewer
