Cath Clarke Guardian All round the film has less bite than you’d expect. But it’s stylishly shot by first-timer Louis-Seize, a bit reminiscent of an early Jim Jarmusch movie with its deadpan sense of humour, never trying too hard, just a little bit too cool for school. Rated: 3/5 Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Lauren Coates Chicago Reader This French vampire dramedy may not be groundbreaking, but its strong leads and dry humor make it well worth watching. Jul 10, 2024 Full Review Rendy Jones RogerEbert.com A charming, dark, comedic romp for a new generation that is a welcoming new branch to the vampire cinema tree. Rated: 3/4 Jun 22, 2024 Full Review Leonardo Garcia Tsao La Jornada The idea of ​​a reluctant vampire refusing to bite its victims isn't original... And certainly Louise-Seize and her co-writer Christine Doyon fail to come up with any new or clever variations on the premise...

Kevin Hilarious and original! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Anton Best movie of the year so far Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Kevin L I quite enjoyed this one. Most of the credit goes to director/co-writer Ariane Louis-Seize and her well-chosen lead Sara Montpetit as Sasha. Nice bit of casting in Montpetit as she brings a quite confidence to the role of an anything but confident teen vampire who can't even get her fangs to make an appearance. But she is a 'humanist vampire. Or is that just a convenient cover? Add in her second in teen angst, Félix-Antoine Bénard, as Paul, and you have quite the miserable pair. Benard verges on overplaying it as the oddball wallflower, but gets better as his character is developed more as the film goes along. I ended up very much pulling for Paul and Sasha. Misfits as they are, with Paul being bullied and Sasha getting a hard time from her family for not helping out with the hunting. But wait, she has compassion for human suffering? There's some funny bits to go along with the generally light tone. That tone works very well with the comedic element and these characters. Key to some of the funnier moments is Noémie O'Farrell as Sasha's cousin Denise, who has no issues or problems w/ doing some hunting and feeding while riding Sasha for her inneffectual nature. O'Farrell shows a natural skill with dark comedy, both in how to deliver a line that's funny and physical comedy. Good fun this one- 3.3 stars Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/17/25 Full Review Alejandro E Another example that big things come in small packages. With no big budget and little-known actors, it combines the vampire genre with comedy in an ingenious way. An excellent choice for a weekend. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/28/25 Full Review Roberto T Really great concept but it took long to get going. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Audience Member GEHT COMING-OF-AGE MIT 68? Einfach genüsslich am Blutbeutel schlürfen und Trübsal blasen, mehr möchte Vampirin Sasha gar nicht. Doch ihre Familie drängt sie in eine Rolle die sie nicht annehmen möchte, denn Sasha mag das töten nicht. Als sie jedoch den chronisch Selbstmord gefährdeten Paul kennenlernt, scheint sie endlich jemanden gefunden zu haben der sie versteht. Feinfühlige Vampirin sucht lebensmüdes Opfer geht ca. 90 Minuten und ist ab 16 Jahren freigegeben. Wir haben hier eine Horror-Komödie aus Frankreich, über zwei leicht depressive Teenager die nichts weiter wollen als Emo mäßig in sich gekehrt in die Welt zu blicken. Coming-of-Age Geschichten und ich werden wohl keine Freunde mehr, dabei bietet die Story einen Blick in die Seele von Teenagern die nicht in die Rolle passen in der sie reingehören sollen, tiefsinnig. Allerdings sind mir persönlich die beiden Hauptfiguren nicht nur ziemlich egal, ich fand sie auch unsympathisch und egoistisch. Aber so sind nunmal Teenager und das gehört zum erwachsen werden dazu, auch bei Vampiren, wahrscheinlich. Wirklich viel zu lachen gab es für mich nicht, dafür mochte ich denn melancholischen Unterton. Die Familie von Sasha ist zur Abwechslung mal keine Grafenfamilie die irgendwo in Transelvanien mordet, erfrischend. Das sich die 1,5h echt gezogen haben lag hauptsächlich daran das man viel Zeit darauf verschwendet die beiden einfach nur da stehen zu lassen ohne das was passiert, für mich jedenfalls. Das Finale ist dann der vorhersehbare Plot der geschieht, plus das die beiden zuviel Matrix geschaut haben. Am Ende bleibt ein Werk das für mich maximal Ok war, die Story ist an sich nicht schlecht und auch die Idee was gesagt werden will passt. Allerdings sind die Figuren uninteressant und mit Blick auf ihre Eltern eben auch echt egoistisch. Von mir bekommt der Film 6/10 Punkten. Wieso die Vampire älter werden liegt wohl an der künstlerischen Freiheit, genauso wie das quatschen über Vampirklischees. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Read all reviews
