Entertainment Reviews:
Mr. Legrand is skilled in the techniques of dread and suspense, and without sensationalizing or cheapening the story, he gives this closely observed drama the tension and urgency of a thriller.
New York Times
[The] chilly distance between the filmmaker and his subject thaws as the film progresses, unfolding like a slow-motion thriller...
Variety
Rating: 4/5 --
A layered and delicately wrought entertainment.

Guardian
[A] stripped-down domestic drama that tightens the screws and builds the dread as relentlessly as a horror movie. -- Grade: B+
A.V. Club
Custody may feel long, but it's short by the standard of waiting times at Family Court.

Screen International
3.5 stars out of 4 -- CUSTODY plays like a more humanistic Michael Haneke film. It’s emotionally bruising but not without some glimmer of hope...
RogerEbert.com
Confidently assembled and acted with impressive precision...
Hollywood Reporter
CUSTODY is a time bomb of the most devastating sort. The ticking starts slowly, almost imperceptibly, but it never lets up, never stops inexorably increasing in volume, until a conclusion as devastating as it is inevitable.
Los Angeles Times
Product Description:
A young boy, Julien (Thomas Gioria), and his teenage sister, Josephine (Mathilde Auneveux), become pawns in a bitter custody battle between divorced couple Miriam (Léa Drucker) and Antoine (Denis Ménochet). Miriam claims Antoine is violent, while Antoine maintains that his bitter ex has turned his children against him. Julien is caught in the middle of their manipulations and struggles to know who to trust. Directed by Xavier Legrand. Intended as a companion to his short film, "JUST BEFORE LOSING EVERYTHING," with Drucker, Menochet and Auneveux reprising their roles.
