The Souvenir

Not bad, disent les Anglais quand ils jugent que c'est excellent. Pas mal, en effet.

C'est d'ailleurs cette quête d'espace et de confiance qui nous émeut, aspect le plus intéressant du projet. 

À l'inverse, son partenaire Tom Burke est rien de moins que parfait en dandy moderne et tragique.

(...) but "The Souvenir" doubles as a reference to the unseen but still painful bruises you can get with a relationship as rocky as theirs.

Honor Swinton-Byrne (daughter of Tilda) stars in a forthright recollection of bad romance, exquisitely crafted by Joanna Hogg.

There is nothing in The Souvenir that's obvious or banal or that represents anything other than a struggle to get something inchoate onscreen in a way no one else has.

Joanna Hogg's autobiographical recreation of a relationship gives a young actor a breakout role and redefines the notion of "personal" filmmaking.
