Review by Library Journal Review

After the sudden death of their 75-year-old mother, three devoted siblings (Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, and Jeremie Renier) try to divvy up the family estate-including a large country house and valuable works of art-in a way that meets their various emotional and financial considerations while honoring their loved one's legacy. Working from an acutely perceptive script, Olivier Assayas (Irma Vep) uses fluid handheld camerawork and a spare but exquisite score in this affecting film for discriminating viewers.
