Petits arrangements avec ma mère

The film constructs a light yet sharp satire on family dynamics and the social expectations placed on adult children and their parents. It relies on recognizable archetypes and everyday conflicts to mine genuine comedy from a domestic predicament.

What lingers after the final scene is a warm, witty feeling that family negotiations, however tricky, are always worth the effort. The humor is gentle but insightful, leaving one with a smile. — MovieFinder Editorial
