Reception
Critical response
In particular, Augustin Pietron-Locatelli, in Télérama, notes an absence of staging and an abuse of clichés, “dripping” music for a film which parallels stories which are not comparable.[11] Andrew Parker (TheGATE.ca) notes: "The Braid raises some cultural and ethical questions that are left dangling in the breeze in favour of sending things out on a somewhat uplifting note after asking a lot of the audience up to that point".[12] In Russia, the film was released theatrically on 30 May 2024. Film critic of Kommersant publication Yulia Shagelman considered the film "Sarah’s line was the most elaborate and reliable, but for some reason it’s not very easy to be touched by how an Indian beggar, without knowing it, helped a woman with money and access to modern free (after all, we’re talking about Canada) healthcare".[13]
