Noté 8/10 par Sohippo "15/20 Des prises de vue originales et des plus belles. Rares films à offrir cela à un tel niveau. Très beaux jeu d'acteurs. On se laisse porter par ces relations tortueuses et comme l'a si bien écrit Clément elles portent des sujets très sensibles. La discrimination raciale s'exprimant une fois encore avec une extrême violence. Que de beaux films nous sont offerts ces derniers temps ! Légers, intenses, esthétiques... On en prend plein d'émotions. 🥰"
