Helen Frizell Sydney Morning Herald A delicate, thoughtful and loving film, made by Michel Drach from his memories. Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Pauline Kael The New Yorker Les Violons du Bal isn't a child's vision; it's an adult security blanket of soft illusions. Oct 6, 2023 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Oui It is at once an autobiography about the war experience of one family and an ironic commentary on what this means in terms of art and commerce. Nov 10, 2021 Full Review John Simon Esquire Magazine It is very much what a clever -- but not so very clever -- kid fresh out of film school and stuffed to the gills with Godard, Resnais, Robbe-Grillet, etc. might make to prove his cleverness and originality.
