Wendy Ide Observer (UK) May 6
Carnoy’s lean storytelling and the impressive performances from the young cast mean that the film lands its emotional punches with force. Go to Full Review Louis Spong Little White Lies May 1
3/5
There’s a real delicacy to the way Carnoy handles this world, never reducing it to simple notions about masculinity or growing up. The film moves between harshness and softness, between moments of real cruelty and something much more tender. Go to Full Review Jonathan Romney Financial Times Apr 30
3/5
Wild Foxes doesn’t quite transcend the medium range of current European psychological realism. But it shows some distinction in highlighting the footwork rather than the punch. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall May 1
