Rebecca Harrison Sight & Sound 10/02/2019
A confident and startling debut, Bescond and Métayer's film will make you laugh and cry. It is a compelling and necessary story in the era of #MeToo, and one that will no doubt be important to survivors of abuse as well as film lovers. Go to Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety 07/10/2018
This spiky, occasionally soapy but ultimately deeply moving film draws power from its raggedness, making us uncomfortable even beyond the disturbing events it recounts, because its truths refuse to be tidy. Go to Full Review Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter 05/16/2018
A sometimes clumsy, but finally fierce and winning take on a tough topic. Go to Full Review Lisa Nesselson France24 11/10/2018
It is told with verve and bottomless creativity. Go to Full Review Jon-Carlos Evans Black Nerd Problems 06/14/2018
By the third act, the balance gives, pulling the film into the realm of television soap opera. Go to Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine 05/15/2018

10/06/2018 Little Tickles is an important film that shows the power childhood sexual abuse has over the victims that often continues long after the events have stopped. Based on Andréa Bescond's prize-winning autobiographical stage play, Little Tickles, effectivrly uses humor, flashbacks, and insertion of current day characters set in the midst of the flashback sequences, think Ghost of Christmas Past and Scrooge, to present the devestation and lifelong shaping and control of Lise abuse so often has with Children. While presented with utmost care and sensitivity, the scenes where the abuse occurs convey the soulless nature that is sexual abuse of a child, and perhaps most importantly depicts the grooming process of both parents and victims.
