Mektoub, My Love: Canto Uno

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Abdellatif Kechiche remains an astute chronicler of blossoming sexuality, but Mektoub is too languidly paced and shallow in character to justify this summer of love's indulgent runtime.

Ryan Gilbey New Statesman Like the characters, Mektoub, My Love is itself apparently aimless, often irritating, prone to treading water -- indeed, it could be accused of being one long longueur. But I found plenty to admire in it. Feb 19, 2019 Full Review Catherine Wheatley Sight & Sound Above all, Mektoub is a terrific study of the fine art of flirting: of girls and girls, and girls and boys (but never, it seems, boys and boys) and the shifts in power that occur between them as they drink, dance, smile and shrug. Feb 16, 2019 Full Review Ian Freer Empire Magazine Kechiche's camera consistently ogles his female cast but he remains a terrific director of actors, the intimacy and authenticity conveying a real lust for life to sweeten the hefty running time. Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2019 Full Review Kevin N. Laforest Extra Beurre Few filmmakers capture desire on screen as well as Kechiche. [Full review in French] Mar 2, 2020 Full Review PJ Nabarro Patrick Nabarro Kechiche's experiential aesthetic and forensic gaze over the faces, bodies and inner yearnings of his characters is even more tangible here than in Blue is the Warmest Colour. Rated: 4/5 Dec 30, 2019 Full Review Mark Kidel The Arts Desk There is a moral void in the film - or at least a lack of clarity. Rated: 2/5 Feb 19, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
