Leah Pickett Chicago Reader The film's heart beats through its central, intense, and fragile relationship between two ambitious young men. Aug 2, 2019 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter A rambling and semi-impressionistic account of two medical students in their first year that feels like an exercise in nostalgia... Oct 23, 2018 Full Review Carlos Marañón Cinemanía (Spain) [Director Thomas] Lilti delves naturally into the issues... to denounce an elitist system. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 28, 2020 Full Review Hugo Hernández Valdivia Cinexcepción Lilti has created a simple and eloquent film. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Marshall Shaffer Vague Visages The Freshmen calls out the absurdity of an academic system that pushes young people to such limits to achieve success. Apr 20, 2019 Full Review Juan Roures El antepenúltimo mohicano At the end of the day... the film in question does not fail to show a pressing search for meaning and, even more important, happiness.

Marta S Buena película! Te hace reflexionar sobre los sistemas de estudio y evaluación y el valor de la amistad. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review S P Captures the first year of medicine in France well. Nothing special, but good if you are particularly interested in this domain. The ending felt out of touch but still a decent film Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review S F I frequent the university environment and the subject of the film intrigued me, as it recalls situations that i have known directly or indirectly. The film is very well made and does not bore even if the situations are very static. The two lead actors are really good at communicating emotions in a very subtle way. I really enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/04/23 Full Review Clotaire R Kind of boring, I really wouldn't recommend it to future medical students. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/14/20 Full Review Read all reviews
