Movie Reviews

Film Journal International - 8/10 by Kevin LallyManages to bring a fresh and impudent spin to a familiar movie genre.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzA gay fairy tale based on "Hansel and Gretel."
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by Greg MuskewitzThere's a lot of excitement and tension to Lovers and the originality that Ozon goes about it in his 'fractured fairy tales' way makes it adventurous and worthwhile.
User Review - 10/10 by Ali NThis is one of Francois Ozon's best films. It is moving, sad, happy, beautiful and unsettling.
User Review - 10/10 by James CFascinating film, loosely derived from the Grimm tale Hansel and Gretel, in which two white teens (virgin boy and intense, poetry-loving girl) conspire to kill a gorgeous Arab boy at their school. After the crime, they enter a forest to dispose of the body, which puts them into the power of a mysterious woodsman who kidnaps and keeps them prisoner, using the boy as his sex slave and shoving the girl in the cellar with their murder victim's dead body. Bizarre sex games, inter-generational buggery and even cannibalism come and go before the kids escape, enjoy a brief moment of sexual consummation before falling into the hands of a faceless Law. The film could be interpreted by Freudian or other symbolic means, but it is best seen as a series of provocative affects, in which the viewer is goaded, poked, prodded, aroused, repulsed and emotionally involved with what s/he sees in order that they be taken on a journey to the furthest and wildest reaches of their desire. Do we want the Arab boy's lithe body, alive or dead? do we desire the punishment of the murderers? do we blame the girl for leading her boyfriend astray? are we turned on by the woodsman buggering the boy? are we wanting them to be prevented from ending the film as a happy heterosexual couple? do we desire the girl's death? are we touched by the glances of romantic collusion between the woodsman and the boy? All of these questions are provocative and suggest what an extreme ride into transgressive thought Les Amants Criminals really is. Ozon directs beautifully, each moment given its proper weight, with lighting, sound and camera angles perfect at every point, conspiring to give the viewer a wonderfully disorientating experience.
User Review - 10/10 by Colin ZUn conte effrayant et magnifique qui renverse les archetypes et joue avec les mythes.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UOzon's masterpiece. A fairy tale that moves from the realistic to the fantastic....gradually. The theme: manipulation in human relationships. Only when these lovers go through through the trauma of captivity and kidnapping are they able to love each other. Then they go to prison. How French. No feel good romance here. Wonderful.
User Review - 10/10 by Asia Ssaw it long ago. dont remember a lot about it but i know i loved it
User Review - 10/10 by Marta Bdo not think about watching it with ur lover when drinking pinor !:)
User Review - 10/10 by Tara Gbeautiful and disturbing. like all good things in life. Ozon at his best.
