“Douard, who co-penned the screenplay with Laurette Polmanss, steadfastly steers the film through 90 minutes of diapers, doubt, and drama, with a healthy dose of laugh-out-loud moments sprinkled in (Emy Juretzko as the young daughter of Céline’s friends is a scene stealer in this regard) to keep a touch of lightness. ” – The Guardian
