TOMATOMETER
THE SECRET OF THE GRAIN is mostly ambiance, at once intimate and austere....Quietly arranged tensions build to a simmer.
Washington Post
The richness of THE SECRET OF THE GRAIN lies in the close, tireless, enthusiastic attention it pays to the most mundane daily tasks, especially those involving food.
New York Times
THE SECRET OF THE GRAIN never slows, always engages....It is made of life itself.
Chicago Sun-Times
[A] beautiful film, which captures the rhythms of displacement and hardship, the bond of family meals, and even the daily routines of the magnificent women who are part of Slimane's life. -- Grade: A
Entertainment Weekly
4 stars out of 5 -- Kechiche elicits marvelous performances from his cast...and he establishes a rhythm ideally suited to presenting a complex, even messy, vision of everyday domestic conflict...
Box Office
Intense and realistic, equally involved with personal stories and social issues, it takes us inside a slice of France we rarely see and makes our time there hard to shake off.
Los Angeles Times
