Overview
- Le Parisien praised the film and gave it a 4.5 out of 5 rating while noting the movie has reached French cinemas.
- Ulysse compresses eighteen years of a mother named Alice raising a son diagnosed with a genetic syndrome into a 1 hour 37 minute comédie dramatique.
- Masson cast her son Alphonse to play Ulysse from adolescence, a choice reviewers say sharpens the film’s autobiographical feel and emotional honesty.
- The story shows the mother repeatedly searching for new specialists and suitable institutions and confronting bureaucratic acronyms, long waits, and a lack of places for young people with disabilities.
- Beyond the intimate family portrait the film highlights a social question that could push public attention toward how French disability services plan for young adults and their caregivers.
