No one will rank Kornél Mundruczó’s tender late-life drama, written by creative and life partner Kata Wéber, among the highest ranks of Ellen Burstyn’s most hallowed works. Go to Full Review Yasmine Kandil Little White Lies Sep 10, 2026
In reality, the director's tepid vision and Kata Wéber's opaque penmanship attempt to reap the benefits of seeds the script never bothers to sow. Go to Full Review Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter Sep 10, 2026

7/10
