      Devika Girish New York Times “Winter Boy” shines when it allows its actors to quietly play out family dynamics, with Lacoste, Binoche and especially Kircher wearing the many shades of grief with effortless, endearing naturalism. Apr 27, 2023 Full Review Derek Smith Slant Magazine Christophe Honoré’s film tackles grief in a subtle, intriguingly indirect manner. Rated: 3/4 Apr 24, 2023 Full Review Jonathan Romney Screen International A moving but hard-edged story of grief, self-discovery and teenage angst... Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Juan Jose Cruz Cine Premiere Although at times longer than necessary, it works as a journey to those emotions that shape us as people, and the memorable imprints (positive and negative) that adolescence can leave. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Nov 3, 2023 Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily The film reaches a conclusion that is satisfying but open-ended. You can’t help but wonder what Lucas did next. Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Winter Boy is one of his more disciplined enterprises, but it still can be maddening, in a peculiarly stereotypical French way wherein characters constantly traverse the gamut of emotions as if hammering out xylophone arpeggios.
