Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Mostly a monotonous din of kids trashing one another.

rotten:
It is a provocative and potentially rich premise, to be sure, but the execution here is somewhat lacking.

fresh:
This graceful and sympathetic look at how the lives of teenagers intersect with a work of literature won several César awards in France.
– A.O. Scott,

fresh:
Kechiche extracts breathtakingly disciplined performances from all of his first-time actors, and truly magical ones from Forestier as the prematurely full-blown diva Lydia and Sabrina Ouazani as Frida, her motor-mouthed partner in theatrical crime.

A work of drama, it's more realistic than any TV reality show.
