Emotionally richer than Fingers, and there's nothing secondhand about Duris' performance.

Detroit Free Press
August 19, 2005
Audiard has wisely avoided the crime-movie clichés of Toback's Fingers, and if his film is not exactly naturalistic, it is steeped in a reality that makes it all the more compelling.
