Jordan Mintzer Variety Though Lights Out initially aims at something vaguely disturbing, its rather lightweight resolution all too neatly ties up the trajectories of characters who remained compelling as long as their lives seemed messy and real. Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Mayer Nissim Digital Spy You get an insight into teenage life, but the ideas and emotions are subtle enough to enhance and not overshadow the story. Rated: 4/5 Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Kevin Jagernauth The Playlist With a score composed by Sonic Youth and a mystery that doubles as an insight to the tenuous and intangible qualities of those late sex-obsessed teenage years, Lights Out is a clever drama masquerading as a murder mystery. Rated: A Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Lee Marshall Screen International This genre-bending high-school thriller-drama about three students who go missing at a French lycee opens like a teen B-movie, but soon moves into more intriguing territory. Aug 18, 2016 Full Review Robin Clifford Reeling Reviews The combination of slick, detailed writing and deft directing of the young stars make this a calling card film that will open many doors for [writer-director] Gobert. Rated: B Sep 16, 2011 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews Writer/director Fabrice Gobert makes his feature debut with a tip of the hat to an old French film, the structure of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" and a soundtrack by Sonic Youth. Rated: B- Sep 14, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Nous sommes en 1992. Dans un lycée de campagne, Simon Werner a disparu. Ses camarades s'interrogent : fugue, meurtre, suicide ? Les allégations vont bon train quand disparaissent un deuxième puis un troisième élève. Un serial killer ? Mais où est Simon ? Simon Werner a disparu est plus un début de phrase déclenchant diverses réactions parmi ses camarades de classe. Si un petit suspense reste permanent pendant tout le film, ce n'est pas ici une histoire d'enquête cherchant réellement à savoir ce qui est arrivé à Simon, mais plutôt une étude sociologique sur la vie adolescente face à un incident les touchant plus ou moins directement. Originale car adoptant différents points de vue pour des situations similaires (la caméra embarquée pour Simon est bien trouvée), l'histoire permet de mettre le doigt sur les rumeurs et les faits. Cependant la non-fin entraine une frustration qui ne peut s'ignorer. Zut. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Not really worth 2 hrs of your life - cute filming idea.. but I didn't care about the characters Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Uns quantos estudantes desaparecem num liceu francês e todo esse mistério é abordado através das perspectivas de quatro alunos diferentes. Cada história complementa a outra e os espaços em branco vão sendo preenchidos à medida que o filme avança. A estética indie é eficiente e fresca, e o andamento do filme é bastante intrigante, mesmo que a fórmula das histórias cruzadas pareça demasiado gasta. "Simon Werner a disparu" esconde algumas revelações que importa conhecer, mas deve tanto a Gus Van Sant que nunca deixa de parecer um derivado de "Elephant" ou "Paranoid Park". A banda-sonora ficou a cargo dos Sonic Youth, que terão sido fundamentais para o filme ter tido uma maior projecção. São uns Sonic Youth em modo atmosférico com espaço para uma ou duas canções temáticas. Funciona bem. 2,5/5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Varios jóvenes desaparecen de un colegio en Paris desatando rumores que se empiezan a extender y la psicosis comienza Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesante película francesa en la cual hay varias desapariciones en un liceo y las vidas entrelazadas y contadas por partes de sus responsables, se puede ver Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Une bonne histoire, une fin de merde. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
