Review of Jean Gentil (2012) by Rachel Saltz for The New York Times — 18 Apr 2012
The filmmakers have no patience for details, either basic or telling. Their elliptical method starts to seem lazy, and Jean's plight, a journey from bad to bad, starts to seem a stacked deck. Through it all Mr.
Genty holds your attention with his sober dignity. Too bad the filmmakers frequently let that slip into pathos.
