The Thorn in the Heart


The critical consensus

A touching insight into a family's inner workings.

****(*)Philip Wilding, Empire Online, 06/12/2010

Maybe this portrait won't knock the socks off anyone outside the Gondry clan, but unlike most home movies it is rarely dull.

***(*)(*)Siobhan Synnot, The Scotsman, 07/12/2010

A glum and unrevealing meditation on blood relationships, which will be of no especial interest to anyone outside the director's own family.

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 10/12/2010

Merely captures the complexities at the heart of any family, with great generosity of spirit.
