Reception

Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film is "an audacious and often impressive continent-hopping drama" and added that the film is "marked by an impressive sense of visual storytelling".[5] Ronnie Scheib of Variety opined that "Skillful time shuffling and a compelling performance by Charlotte Gainsbourg anchor this flawed but fascinating cross-cultural drama".[1] Jacques Mandelbaum of Le Monde stated that the film does not rise to the expected level.[15]
