Variety

Neither triumph nor tragedy shakes the bond between two actors in a vibrant debut that vibrates - too wildly? - with unrestrained emotion.

[Anaïs Volpé] transmits an overwhelming energy that takes us through the end of a film that's both beautiful and heart-wrenching, and above all, alive. [Full review in Spanish]

Backseat Mafia

Both Lukumuena and Yacoub give full-blooded performances and this is what powers Anas Volps film.

Cineuropa

It's an indictment to cinema that it seems so strange to watch 27-year-old women have fun and still be in pursuit of their dreams... [Anaïs] Volpé will be a new voice in cinema.

In Review Online

If The Braves' weakness comes from its somewhat predictable structure, its strength remains in the affectionate friendship of the leads and the textured editing.
