This is a jolly coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old boy named Laurent Chevalier who is growing up in bourgeois surroundings in Dijon, France. This is France in the mid-1950s rather than America in the 1990s. Thus, Laurent is unharmed by events which would irreparably shatter the self-esteem of a modern American adolescent: he gets drunk, he smokes, he has sex, he is smothered by his mother, he is ignored by his father, a priest makes a pass at him, he gets rheumatoid feve...

This is a jolly coming-of-age story about a 14-year-old boy named Laurent Chevalier who is growing up in bourgeois surroundings in Dijon, France. This is France in the mid-1950s rather than America in the 1990s. Thus, Laurent is unharmed by events which would irreparably shatter the self-esteem of a modern American adolescent: he gets drunk, he smokes, he has sex, he is smothered by his mother, he is ignored by his father, a priest makes a pass at him, he gets rheumatoid fever, etc. There's enough scandalous behavior in this film to make 100 made-for-TV movies, and yet this is a very happy and oddly innocent tale.
Leave your thoughts about Murmur of the Heart.
| The SpectatorChristopher HudsonThe film is funny, attractive, and worthwhile. |
| Martha's Vineyard Times (Massachusetts)Niki PattonA classic. Malle's homage to teenage love. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloClassic French coming-of-age film has nudity, incest. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickshould be memorable for its keen ability to render the fumbling antics of early adolescent boyhood with an acute eye and a tender touch |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzI was more than a little taken aback by the smugness of these privileged sorts. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseIn all their messiness, here are love, sex, society, and family, met with cleansing laughter. |
| Cinema WriterJay Antanithe whiff of droll, lighthearted humor partially redeems what is otherwise a gorgeously filmed exercise in smug depravity |
| User ReviewIvan CCharming, stylish, a little pervy, and laugh-out-loud funny. The brothers and the housekeeper are hilarious. |
| User ReviewPavandeep SThis is easily my favourite movie and my favourite Malle. Different from Au Revoir, it is more culturally laden and infuses heavy dosage of the varied changes of French society into a boy growing up, a boy who is both bright and confused and has very different thoughts on love just as France was having different thoughts on politics and society. Politically pieced together, it is a fine movie for anyone to enjoy be it a tale of love or of socialist uprisings. |
| User ReviewPrivate UFull of youth cruelty, sex, incest, and drugs. This kid is my hero. Maybe because he's such a jerk. |
