	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Well into his 70s, Andre Techine delivers his most youthful film yet (...) his vibrant portrait feels like something of a revelation"	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"'Being 17' manifestly benefits from her insight into the problems of young people(...) this, combined with Téchiné’s controlled vision and superb direction of actors, makes the new film a quietly potent proposition"	POS
United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Inevitable comparisons will be made to director Andre Techine's most personal film, Wild Reeds (...) ut Being 17 is more expansive in scope and richer in tone"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"A touching drama about raging hormones, bullying and sexual awakening - and the strongest film in many years by the post-New Wave French director André Téchiné."	POS
United States	Dave White The Wrap	"The young men of 'Being 17' are more gestural than verbal. Téchiné intuitively favors movement over chatter, and he directs his young actors toward intimate, yearning performances."	POS
