Surprising, invigorating and sharply frank.

Husson captures the restless rhythms of adolescence-the push-pull of angst and boredom, of self-consciousness and the yearning to lose oneself completely.

Rated: 2.5/4

Little White Lies

A bit too superficial in its conclusions on modern adolescence to be remembered.

Rated: 2/5

The director, also a screenwriter, fails to make any character interesting. [Full Review in Spanish]

Dog and Wolf

Overall the teenage relationships aren't really delineated, a moralistic twist near the end appears out of nowhere, as does the sudden, unrealistic pairing-up of two of the main characters that gives the film the justification for its subtitle.

Rated: 3/5

Critic's Notebook

Bang Gang's shock value comes from the sense of the audience being included in something private, in joining in with some middle-class French kids learning about themselves through sexual play.

A coming of age summer for a group of disparate teens is enticing and dismaying.

In a lot of ways this movie comes off as an over-the-top, MTV-meets-P*rnhub parody of French youth culture. But there's a real story here, and while it doesn't always make sense, it's all strangely relatable and engaging. It's a unique film, and I liked it.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

A pretty good movie about a group of wild teenagers who play sexual games with each other while their parents are away.

There's nothing in the story that's profound, yet, I knew exactly what Husson was getting at. It's the cinematography that gives this film its life.

Bored, unsupervised, oversexed rich teenagers are not even close to "modern."
