A film of beautiful, stressful moments. There hasn’t been a love triangle done this well in some time. The raw emotion and take on what human sexuality is, and can be. Read more

While it is a well-composed, designed, and acted adult drama fascinated by intimacy, it is also a little bit too lean to fully envelop its viewers in the character complexities of the narrative. Read more

Passages is een typisch Franse film, terwijl slechts een van de drie hoofdrolspelers Franstalig is. Een uitdagende film, die de kijker uitdaagt. Het uitmuntende acteerwerk en het minutieus uitgewerkte scenario zorgen voor een hemelse kijkervaring. Read more
