Reception

Critical response

AlloCiné, a French cinema website, gave the film an average rating of 4.1/5, based on a survey of 25 French reviews.[25]

Eric Neuhoff of Le Figaro gave the film five stars, stating, "It's called grace. Desplechin masters his subject from A to Z. Images are his natural language. He's not afraid of words either. He is a complete athlete of the cinema. He was believed to be Truffaut's heir. He is becoming our Bergman."[25]

Thierry Cheze of Première gave the film four stars, writing, "After the disappointing Deception, Desplechin is back in great shape with a film in which he explores family love/hate stories with an ever so fascinating dexterity. Marion Cotillard finds one of her finest roles here."[25]

Cahiers du Cinéma gave the film four stars, stating, "The beauty of Brother and Sister made our desire to meet Arnaud Desplechin urgent."[25]

In France, Brother and Sister was released to 296 screens, where it debuted at number four at the box office, selling 73,784 tickets.[26] It sold a total of 235,198 tickets after 9 weeks in cinemas.[27]
