« Stylistically, it was striking to note the parallel between the lushness of the graphics and visual worlds and that of the music, for example in Dragon Age with an excellent opening, Dungeon Hunter 5 with an excellent conclusion, Assassin's Creed, Deus Ex, or Mass Effect Andromeda. »
Le Devoir - Montreal
« Sensitive to this cinema anchored in time as much as it escapes it, Baptiste paints the melancholy of an era that liked to ridicule police and bourgeois, thus avoiding to put too much emphasis on the laughts. He then chisels out the mysterious appearance of a mermaid with the help of silences pierced by sudden soli and Debussyst reminiscences. »
