Critics' reviews

"The plotting is the film's Achilles heel. Still, as a calling card, it's pretty impressive, and proves that Quivoron can work with both the heart and the gut. At the moment, though, just not in the right ratio"

Damon Wise: Deadline
"A daring and impressive debut feature that accomplishes something wonderful about movies: it explores a world that few know with a bracing intimacy and genuine respect for the subject"

Barry Levitt: SlashFilm
"'Rodeo' left me wondering what its point was, but it certainly has verve"

Ben Kenigsberg: rogerebert.com
"Add one part 'Titane,' one part 'Fast & Furious,' and one part 'Girlhood,' and you'll have some idea of the raw power of Lola Quivoron's feature debut."

Kate Erbland: IndieWire
"For the most part the scattered script careens around various lackluster intrigues"

Beatrice Loayza: The New York Times
"A thrilling, but sometimes too-conventional debut (...) Rather misjudged dips into the realm of fantasy likewise fail to lift up proceedings, but 'Rodeo' is at its best when it stays down to earth, close to the pavement"

Elena Lazic: The Playlist
"A combustible fusion of crime story, character study and existential mystery, a tale of celebration and lament, and it announces the arrival of a gifted and adventurous filmmaker"
