Critics' reviews
- "Le Guillermic is fine in this calm comedy of subverted exteriors and expectations, but it's the remarkably unpretentious -- earthy, even -- Balasko who anchors Achache's adaptation."
- "Lacking any depth of its own, this upper-middlebrow French drama resorts to the old trick of referencing acknowledged masters."
- "A satisfying emotional experience."
- "A reminder that, sometimes, the movies can get a beloved book exactly right"
- "This a movie with such a light, stylish touch, it makes no claims to profundity and is a sweetly hopeful experience."
- "A movie that's smart, grown-up, wry and deeply moving"
