AroView: Another slyly subversive comic tale from the directing pair behind “Louise-Michel” (2008), with Gerard Depardieu in fine fettle as a retiree battling to secure his state pension.

“They’ve given their star one rotten peach of a role, and Depardieu makes the most of it. Because of him, such surreal Gallic scuzziness has rarely seemed so sweetly tender.” ~David Fear, Time Out
