Leave your thoughts about The Super 8 Years.
| Original-CinLiam LaceyErnaux’s precise and thoughtful commentary connects the images to memories, discovering yet another harvest from the well-cultivated field of her autobiography. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisMemory is also, I think, one reason we watch movies like this, which with its lapidary narration and melancholic images — with its laughing children, its difficult smiles and its ghosts — movingly pairs you with Ernaux and with the world that she has so brilliantly made. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThis moving, probing, beautifully written film doesn’t completely eschew nostalgia, but like Ernaux’s books, it treats the past as a prism, casting varying light depending on how, when and where it’s held. |
| Screen DailyLisa NesselsonAs a born writer, Annie’s commentary is a time capsule of her life half a century ago but also, by extension, of fascinating changes afoot in France itself. |
| The Film StageMichael FrankThe film plays as one extended memory—sometimes more bitter, sometimes more sweet, always a combination of both. |
| The Irish TimesDonald ClarkeCheap gags aside, The Super 8 Years comes together as an effective gloss on a life that has already been carefully examined. |
| RogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesThe compact documentary is ultimately more an exercise for the filmmakers than it is a truly rewarding cinematic experience for the audience. |
| The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeThe slow-motion breakdown of a family is tracked by a lens that initially sought out intimacy and celebration, but finds itself, as the years pass, increasingly distanced from figures caught in its time capsule of a frame. |
