Edward Porter Times (UK) Its young actors — non-professionals drawing on their own experiences — are compelling and the Swiss director Fred Baillif, a former social worker, has done a masterly job. Rated: 4/5 Aug 8, 2022 Full Review Leila Latif Little White Lies Understated and powerful filmmaking from Fred Bailiff. Rated: 4/5 Feb 25, 2022 Full Review John Nugent Empire Magazine Bruising and beautiful in equal measures, La Mif is an impressive slice of social realist drama that feels rooted in something real — because it is. Rated: 4/5 Feb 24, 2022 Full Review Rubén Romero Santos Cinemanía (Spain) What neorealism is all about. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4.5/5 May 24, 2022 Full Review Sarah Manvel Critic's Notebook The greatest strength and the greatest weakness of La Mif is how easy it is to forget the actors are acting, especially as they are willing to behave more riskily onscreen than almost any professional would agree to. Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Alif Majeed Battle Royale With Cheese There is enough in La Mif to hold your attention and make you think about what you watched. Mar 7, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
