Critic Reviews for The Bélier Family

All Critics (24) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (20) | Rotten (4)

As well as ensuring that the film avoids the cloying sweetness of Hollywood's seasonal offering, Love the Coopers, the Beliers' idiosyncrasies strike a gently subversive note.

Sandra Hall
Sydney Morning Herald
[The Belier Family] has enormous charm and humour, a real sense of warmth within the family, and a knockout finale which, of course, involves Paula's singing.

Emera is indeed a winning presence, and it would take a hard heart not to be moved by her rendition of Michel Sardou's Je Vole ...

Observer (UK)
This cheery French comedy-drama is sustained by its own rude energy.

Geoffrey Macnab
Independent (UK)
[Viard and Damiens] manage to project a lot of warmth despite the fact both have no spoken dialogue and their characters tend to be extremely direct.

The beauty of the otherwise formulaic La Famille Belier is the way this affable crowdpleaser manages to twist its overplayed setup.

Variety
Though not above tugging on the heartstrings quite hard when the mood suits, this enjoyable experience earns the right to do so keeping an earthy spirit to the fore when it counts.

The deaf, the townspeople, the teenage dreams! All exaggerated but so delightfully performed! [Full Review in Spanish]

A light and agreeable movie; it's not particularly memorable, but it's got nothing offensively bad about it either. [Full review in Spanish]

Sebastian Zavala Kahn
Cinencuentro
Between La Famille Beliér's frequent juvenile jokes, redundant subplots and comically misguided performances, it seriously needed some work before going into production.

Alex Lines
Film Inquiry
An impressively handled if conventional comedy-drama.

Peter Calder
New Zealand Herald
More interested in appeasing an older audience that already treats the condition as a wondrous curiosity, rather than moving them even an inch outside their comfort zone.
