	Author	Review
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"Although Vallee's remarkably assured film, which clocks in at more than two hours, proves that it's possible to have too much of a good thing (...) still manages keep up the entertaining yet emotionally satisfying pace"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"[A] bouncy coming-of-age tale that coasts along on a terrific soundtrack and a spot-on feel for period detail"	POS
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"It's a well-acted, rather familiar film."	POS
United Kingdom	Ben Walters Time Out	"Based on the life of a friend of the director, it has (...) a plausible sense of the stubborn ructions and unarticulated tendernesses of family life, but also offers fantastical touches apt to its religiose undertones"	POS
United Kingdom	Jamie Woolley BBC	"There's a colourful energy that's hard to ignore (...) Definitely more than the sum of its parts."	POS
