Critics reviews

Ms. Bellugi is a real find; she inhabits her character, who, even as she hides her secrets, is so genuinely beatific that you can hear it in her breathing. Which makes it even more of a shame that the movie, which for two hours is an absorbing, detailed procedural, becomes so willfully diffuse in its final 20 minutes.

Though the narrative begins with intrigue, and cinematographer Eric Gautier (Into the Wild, School of Life) provides some visual thrills, the film is overlong and unconvincing in the end.
