20 minutes 7.
For Elli Mastorou from the «Les Grenades» rubric of the RTBF, the film casts "a feminine and feminist gaze on family traumas. Liberating a discussion and reappropriating the family narrative, Romy Trajman learns to reconcile with her parents - but also with herself." 8.
In Cineuropa, Aurore Engelen claims the film is "intimate and surprising." 9.

The journalist Caroline Lahbadi, writes for the Utopia Gazette : "Romy Trajman signs a funny and deliciously endearing first film. With an overflowing passion of her youth and a sprinkle of childhood, she still loves to play around with the rules. She dares everything, including singing when we expect it the least. It’s done with such sincerity, and such emotion." 13.
