Véritable empathie ressentie.
Douloureusement réaliste. Film triste à l'interprétation parfaite.
j’ai décroché à des moments. Ça reste émouvant mais ça pourrait être mieux

Époustouflant, terrible, émouvant et affreusement triste. J'ai mis un certain temps à comprendre le point de vue, c'était d'autant plus déconcertant
Merveilleux jeu d'acteurs ! Film émouvant et triste

Très très émouvant. Une descente dans le monde de la perte de mémoire. Anthony Hopkins est incroyable.
