Movie Reviews

Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Bill WeberA sibling drama of unsentimental urban grit and swooning lyricism, Nénette and Boni meditates on the myriad permutations of love and sensuality, from familial longings to food fetishes.
Nashville Scene - 9/10 by Rob NelsonThe films of French director Claire Denis often chart the flow of energy between two dissimilar people while contemplating their place within the larger community.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaClaire Denis comes up with her emotionally richest pic to date in Nenette and Boni, a multilayered look at unformed teen emotions and the mysterious, almost invisible ties that bind siblings.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertClaire Denis, born in French Africa, is a director who seems drawn to stories about characters who want to build families out of unconventional elements. With Nenette et Boni, she makes a more delicate film. She feels affection for the characters, especially Boni, and is very familiar with them. Maybe that's why she feels free to tell the story so indirectly.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonNenette and Boni, despite their plight, show us something small but vital about Marseilles, families, brothers, sisters, babies, pizza -- and even about the sensuous delights of kneading dough.
Nick's Flick Picks - 8/10 by Nick DavisSurely the least satisfying, least commanding work by its formidable director.
The New York Times - 7/10 by Stephen HoldenIf the film's easygoing, catch-it-while-you-can approach yields some unexpected nuggets, it also makes for lopsided storytelling. But when Nenette et Boni is studying the faces and following the moods of its likable if terribly confused title characters, it captures the stubborn spirit of youth itself.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Maria GarciaCaptures the fragile and fleeting impression you often have of life, that's actually closer to life itself than the more comforting, linear perspectives of narrative film.
Hartford Courant - 6/10 by Deborah HornblowFrench director Claire Denis has fashioned a quietly thrilling, unexpectedly poignant film with Nenette et Boni, a simple tale of a family reunion that earns its distinction in the telling.
GreenCine - 6/10 by Aaron HillisIt's a melodramatic premise on paper that, in the wrong hands, might have succumbed to the sensationalism of its mildly incestuous undertones.
