Angel of Mine

"A subtle yet utterly engrossing Gallic thriller…a crafty exercise in classic genre filmmaking, but with enough restraint and thematic oomph to push it to arthouse levels."

VARIETY

"Compelling…it’s Nebbou’s ability to create a sense of dread that draws you in."

NOW

"A tense drama that gives two of France’s finest actresses roles to sink their teeth into…fascinating ethical questions give the film its residual power."

SCREEN DAILY

"Imprinting between mother and child is elevated to thematic heights…this psychological duel “packs a punch.” Watching these two accomplished actresses square off with maternal fangs bared makes for entertaining if not thoroughly believable melodrama."

TWITCH

"Safy Nebbou proves with Mark of An Angel that as well as being an excellent storyteller, he is also a brilliant director…Catherine Frot wonderfully incarnates the dubious Elsa."

LE JOURNAL DU DIMANCHE

"It’s ambiguity creates suspense…a merciless psychological face-to-face…as well as the deeply-moving portrait of a woman in complete turmoil."

TÉLÉCINÉOBS

"Thanks to emotion that is skin-deep, Catherine Frot removes her comic mask to offer a deeply-moving performance to match an impeccable Sandrine Bonnaire."

PARIS MATCH

"This intimate drama is moving because it refers to essential questions of motherhood, blood ties, grief or denial."

PREMIERE

"The disturbing subtleness of the script and the elegance of the direction serve to deepen the intensity of this emotional story. One of the best films of the summer."

LE POINT

"Well kept, avoids the overflow of tears or words by paying meticulous attention to behaviour and glances."

TÉLÉRAMA

"Nebbou’s taut, psychological tale is gripping and disturbing…Both Frot and Bonnaire make the perfect imperfect mothers."
