Siddhant Adlakha Variety Its snappy, postmodern unfurling, rife with intentionally obvious rear projections, does eventually give way to moving dimensions as the family鈥檚 history fades into view, but few political or personal elements amount to anything poignant. Mar 23, 2025 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Baier nods to the period in which the film is set with a smattering of playful New Wave flourishes. But ultimately the film, like the inhabitants of the Rue-de-Grenelle mansion, doesn鈥檛 really go anywhere. Mar 19, 2025 Full Review
