Read on for a selection of reviews or pop in to make up your own mind!
“This mesmerising debut about a teenager looking to fix up his Paris estate passes up the usual angry social-realism in favour of something more celestial.” 4/5 – Guardian
“Liatard and Trouilh craft an imaginative debut feature from the rubble.” 4/5 – The Irish Times
“Bathily brings a gentle physicality and quiet enthusiasm to the role, in a performance that grows in depth as the film becomes more melancholy and fantastical.” 4/5 – Empire
“This remains one of the year’s most gripping documentaries. The story is extraordinary.” 4/5 – The Irish Times
“It doesn’t flinch from the darkness of Sacks’s childhood or from the insecurities that dogged him though his life. And yet it is still a celebration.” 4/5 – The Telegraph
“What a man. Just writing this makes me want to watch the documentary all over again.” 4/5 – Guardian
