"Cultural crime" is what I just read. Jorge Ayala Blanco said that the purpose of art criticism is to help "extend and deepen pleasures." There is nothing further from art criticism than using a work of art as a mere excuse to talk about personal frustrations and ideology. Watch the movie and form your own opinion.

I go back and forth about this film. But regardless, this is an excellent and well written review. Can't say I totally agree, but it gives pause and food for thought. I just watched "A Prophet" by the same director. Very good film.

Disagree with your thoughts. I enjoyed thr this production and did like the binary questions of motherhood and fatherhood. What is a family etcétera.
