Vadim Rizov Filmmaker Magazine 01/25/2023
I’m normally a fan of Jacques Doillon’s twitchy relationship power struggles, but I’m not big on confrontation for its own sake and couldn’t get on the wavelength of S&M-as-flirtation drama Love Battles. Go to Full Review Dustin Chang Floating World 02/21/2021
Doillon achieves something truly remarkable here with the help of fearless performers, especially from pint-sized Forestier who is a force of nature. Definitely an early contender for my favorite film of the year. Go to Full Review Luis Fernando Galván En Filme 12/22/2020

02/18/2015 I'm sure some people will fins this bold French exploration into the correlation between sex and violence as inappropriate but personally I found it quite poignant. AND it is yet another entry into the long list of European films which piss, shit and vomit all over 50 Shades of Gray.
