A Colony

"A convincing young cast breathes life into an anxious age (...) Absorbing characters and emotional verismo combine in the story of Mylia" 

"A neatly rendered package that cycles through its familiar beats with earnest, thoughtful grace" 

"[It] showcases an emotional sensitivity and cultural specificity that gives it a strong individual identity." 

"[Few films] are as subtle, perceptive, and culturally impactful as writer-director Geneviève Dulude-De Celles’ poignant and strikingly realized fictional feature 'A Colony' (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)" 

"If this were simply a movie about how mortifying it is to try to fit in at school, it would be a slam dunk. But when it comes to exploring sensitive issues (...) the harsh language of teenage bullies isn't always the best way to get the point across" 

"A calm and tender portrait (...) It is beautifully acted and full of emotional complexity, although at times the storytelling seems a little derivative (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
