    Reviews

    "With narrative restraint and a lapidary visual style, Mr. Beauvois opens up this isolated world with stirring emotional force."
    A.O. Scott, The New York T imes
    "A serious-minded and...rather powerful portrait of women getting by in a world where all the men are either gone or gone mad."
    Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
