Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter The road to bad movies is often paved with good intentions, and that’s unfortunately the case with My New Friends (Les Gens d’à côté), a sappy social drama from seasoned French director André Téchiné. Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf Huppert is as superb as always. Rated: 4/5 Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com For fans of Huppert, who taps into a physicality we rarely get to see as an avid jogger and homegrown horticulturist, My New Friends has its subtle bits of delight. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International Despite a relatively trim running time, Techine does justice to the characters and the issues addressed.
