In a kind of philosophical dialogue, Doctor Augustin Masset and renowned writer Fabrice Toussaint discuss life and death... A whirlwind of encounters in which the doctor is the guide and the writer, his passenger led to confront his own fears and anxieties... A poetic ballet, where each patient is a tome of emotions, laughter and tears... A journey to the throbbing heart of our lives.

Jonathan Romney Screen International Sep 30, 2024
Despite authoritative performances, the film never really comes alive. It may be thought-provoking in its content, but is more likely to find its niche as an educational tool than as a cinematic proposition. Go to Full Review Pedro Gallego Espinof May 2, 2025
3/5
Aside from a couple of memorable scenes, the staging is very simple (or like a TV series for some), leaving the film rather bare bones when it could have been more impactful in what it tries to communicate. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Carlos Boyero El Pais (Spain) Apr 25, 2025
It's a film consistent with the themes and intent that have always interested Costa-Gavras, someone who always deserves respect. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) Apr 25, 2025
3/5
Costa-Gavras, one of the greatest living directors, wants us to think with him about death. And that saddens us as much as it overwhelms us and fills us with hope. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Fernando Bernal Cinemanía (Spain) Apr 23, 2025
