[...] However empathetic the approach and honourable the intent, questions of consent and the spectre of exploitation lurk at the edge of the frame. Moral questions notwithstanding, this is a remarkable piece of work," and gave it four stars out of five.https://www.theguardian.com/film/2017/may/25/12-jours-review-raymond-depardon-documentary-psychiatric-hospital-judge 12 Jours review – a devastating glimpse into broken souls Wendy Ide May 25, 2017 The Guardian
