Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The action seems to rise organically from the locale, and Dumont's grand yet intimate fiction fuses his inner world with the historical moment.

We may find ourselves both frustrated and riveted. Something tells me Bruno Dumont wouldn't want it any other way.

This is not funny stuff, but then Dumont isn't after the sort of laughter that makes viewers feel better. His idea of the human comedy remains as grim as it is absurd.

fresh:
"Li'l Quinquin" is a quasi-epic farce that mostly wears a poker face as it elaborates his continuing obsession with the collision of humankind's bestial and spiritual impulses.

fresh:
Something rare and rewarding: a Dumont film that paints its small-town milieu with as much humor as violence (though there's a fair dose of that, too) and finds some tenderness in life's absurdities.
