- Excerpt: In adapting a Georges Simenon story, Mathieu Amalric follows in the footsteps of cinema giants like Duvivier, Renoir, Carné, Clouzot, Chabrol, and Tarr – and he fits right in: his is a film that is refined, subtle, well-crafted, and expertly staged.

- Excerpt: It’s not a blockbuster final twist that sends us out of the theater muttering, but the cumulative sense of fate and circumstance that draw a man into a nightmare from which he gradually understands he will not wake up.
- Ron Wilkinson @ Monsters and Critics
- Excerpt: Lacking in originality and nearly devoid of sunlight, this elegant psychological study is nine parts caution for every one part closure.
