Damaged

The film constructs a delicate balance between comedic setups and dramatic undertones, relying on superb performances and a meticulously recreated interwar setting. It explores the mechanisms of hypocrisy and repression lurking behind a facade of bourgeois respectability.

What lingers after the final act is a clever, ironic, and at times ruthless adaptation where every laugh carries a hint of bitterness. A family saga masterfully deconstructed. — MovieFinder Editorial
