... uses the ill health of a father to explore family tensions, gentrification and the migrant crisis. It’s well-meaning and the naturalistic performances are persuasive.

Guediguian does try to juggle too much here, but occasional flickers of brilliance still manage to shine through

La Villa' (...) er et klassisk psykologisk familiedrama, hvor hver af de tre søskende gemmer på uforløst vrede, traumer, desillusioner. Tilsat stænk af barndoms nostalgi.

Slow cinema är inte min typ av genre så det blir automatiskt ett lägre betyg, men med det sagt tyckte jag ändå det var en ”mysig” film utöver det mörka i den. Fina miljöer och bra skådisar hjälper att höja betyget också.
