Screen Daily
A fascinating oeuvre of memorial reflection and a virtuoso film in its assembling of very diverse illustrating archives that are always relevant
Cineuropa
What makes Retour so fascinating is the mixture of personal memory and historical research. But most intriguing is the parallel rail of film and commentary: the seventh art as a witness of history. Brilliant.
