Erik Gregersen’s review:
Great story about three siblings having to break up their mother's estate, which consists of a house and many masterpieces of 19th century art (mostly decorative, but with 2 Corots). I'm surprised that this topic has never been done before, even though we will all have to do it (and it will be done to our possessions after we go). If I was French, this film would be very worrying, since France and the mother's estate are both things whose day has passed and now the best bits should be put in a museum for tourists to gawp at.
Comment?
