After a time away, a son comes home and visits his mother, a famous literary critic. Of course, there's bound to be trouble... Mathieu Amalric's fiction feature debut is anchored in his own upbringing. A debut of rare assuredness, full of wise, deftly delivered comic notes. (International Film Festival Rotterdam)
