Kate Muir The Times (UK) 12/04/2014
3/5
Based on Gallienne's one-man theatre show, the film camps its way through flamenco-style dancing, a German spa, sexual near-misses and an English boarding school. Go to Full Review

Every social group is reduced to the crudest clich. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Moving seamlessly between stage and screen enactments, Guillaume, who plays both himself and his neurotic, chain-smoking mum, concocts plenty of blackly comic moments. Go to Full Review
Sarah Ward Trespass 02/12/2015
Funny, thoughtful and bubbling over with feeling, the feature shines brightest and rings truest when its driving force is at his best -- which, thankfully, is most of its brief running time. Go to Full Review
Cara Nash FILMINK (Australia) 02/05/2015
Any self-pity is outweighed by a healthy dose of self-deprecating humour. Go to Full Review
Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile 02/02/2015
Quirky, yes, but perhaps not as commercially approachable as it was in France, where screen culture is more adventurous and experimentation is welcomed Go to Full Review

08/13/2018 la amo, como lei en una reseña, un drama disfrazado de comedia See more 08/19/2016 I had known about this movie since it won big at the Cesar awards. So I was expecting it to be good, yet I wasn't sure what to expect from the story. And I did like it, Guillaume's performance was really good in his dual roles, and the story was also very touching and more complex than you would expect. Although I still have to process it more thoroughly, it was overall a good dramedy, that although maybe because of its context it became so popular in France, I still felt like it was missing something to be more than a good movie. Still I would recommend it, and Guillaume's sure demonstrates a lot of talent in front and behind the camera. ~August 19, 2016~ See more 06/06/2015 Les garçons et Guillaume, à table [French, 2014] Interesting take on gender identity. Written, acted, & directed superbly by Guillaume. 8/10 See more 04/18/2015 Muy buena! Súper ingeniosa y divertida See more @MilloTPue 04/08/2015 Between 2.5 and 3. Clearly surprising, but I am not sure I am enthusiastic about it. In any case, it is a testimony, and you must always respect that. See more 01/18/2015 Interesante propuesta del cómico francés en el que supuestamente nos relata todo su proceso de autodescubrimiento no solo de su identidad sexual, sino de su identidad como persona en este mundo; todo ello directamente conectado con la compleja relación que tiene con su madre y familia. Un guión atrevido que usa la comedia para relatarnos un verdadero drama, lo cual a veces hace que se pierda un poco el tono. El trailer prometía una película muy divertida, pero el humor en ella o es demasiado inteligente para un servidor, o es algo yermo. Gallienne lo compensa con creces con su actuación. El peso del filme recae sobre él y cuando se autointerpreta está deliciosamente adorable, y cuando representa a su madre es mordaz, cruel, divertido, con un toque de dulzura. La realización por otro lado es inteligente, haciendo uso de la falta de barreras espacio temporales que el teatro monologado tiene, para ofrecernos una trama atemporal, a pesar de cubrir la vida del autor. El juego con la transición entre espacios sería el otro punto positivo. Sin duda una película que no puede dejarte indiferente. See more Read all reviews
