Phuong Le Guardian The contrast between the provocative voiceover and the naturalistic cinematography is notable in itself, conveying a resistance to the politics of queer assimilation, which courts acceptance from the heterosexual majority. Rated: 3/5 Jul 8, 2024 Full Review Manuel Betancourt Variety Creton’s vision of unruly desires in the French countryside is literate and oblique perhaps to a fault, its erotic sensibility feeling more intellectual than visceral. May 11, 2024 Full Review Beatrice Loayza New York Times The effect may seem frustrating at first, but it ultimately feeds into the kind of alternative, communal lifestyle that the film showcases so beautifully. May 9, 2024 Full Review Manuela Lazic WeLoveCinema What Creton proposes is a more considered style, reminiscent of photography but which, somewhat paradoxically, brings out the aliveness of the characters he films and the landscapes they occupy. Rated: 4/5 Jun 13, 2024 Full Review Miyako Pleines Spectrum Culture Pierre Creton does his best to create a lush paradise in A Prince, but sadly it offers up more weeds than roses. May 15, 2024 Full Review Douglas Davidson Elements of Madness Due to the observatory aspect of Creton’s "A Prince," it’s nearly impossible to invest anything more than time in Pierre-Joseph, his sexual journey, or the ones with whom his path crosses.
