A boy grows up in a village where he is shunned for being gay.

4/5

Fontaine's screenplay has astute things to say about authenticity and artifice, while Oldfield's biggest achievement may be holding his own opposite the mighty Isabelle Huppert, who has a super-cameo as herself.

Messily structured, self-conscious and preposterous, buried within its own inelegant framing device.

For anyone who's read Edouard Louis's 2014 novel The End of Eddy, a gut-wrenching account of growing up poor and gay in rural France, Reinventing Marvin will feel like a botched job.

4/5

Narratively this film breaks no new ground, but it is executed well and hinges around a great performance from breakthrough actor Finnegan Oldfield.

B-

Sometimes it feels like the script doesn't go quite far enough, skimming the surface of some daring themes but never actually delving deeper.

Anne Fontaine's latest packs some serious punch but it is not without its shortcomings.

Nice French flick. Yes, it has many cliches, but it doesn't matter because it's legit.
