Reactions
Guillaume Gouix films with tact the joyful reunions filled with twists and delightful dialogues. Franceinfo Culture
A well-directed road movie and a beautiful film of repair. Marie Claire
The direction, electric, dares ellipsis, the unsaid or off-screen and leaves a beautiful space for its actresses (both perfect) and young Viggo Ferreira-Redier. In this ‘Amore Mio,’ there is a promise of undisciplined and abrasive cinema. L’Obs
For his venture behind the camera, Guillaume Gouix refuses to put himself in the spotlight and focuses on this electrifying sisterly relationship that energizes the narrative. A delicate, sensitive, and very touching debut film. Le Figaro
(…) Guillaume Gouix takes the viewer on an intimate and sunny journey, touching in its delicacy and approach to grief. Le Journal du Dimanche
This short drama, punctuated by very funny scenes, and having the qualities of a film by a man in love beautifully filming his partner (Alysson Paradis in the role of Lola), turns out to be refreshing and offers some beautiful sequences. Le Parisien
It is indeed their relationship or the search for a past and future relationship between these two women, progressing in phases, shyness and then permitted insolence between sisters, that gives the narrative its beautiful depth of incarnation. Les Inrockuptibles
