It All Starts Today Ratings & Reviews
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
A profound study of an all-too-common human condition.
Apollo Guide
Jamie Gillies
Seems cheaply shot and perhaps that is why it just does not ring true.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's a difficult trick to pull off this kind of story with the light touch Truffaut gave to Small Change. But Tavernier is a professional, and his doses of gravity and humanity give him a passing grade.
Movie Habit
Marty Mapes
An impeccably tight movie about a French kindergarten teacher, where every scene serves the story
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
I sat through the whole two hours, so you don't have to.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
works principally through the force of its undeniable realism
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The screenplay, written by Tavernier with his daughter Tiffany and a schoolteacher named Dominique Sampiero, works by looking at everyday challenges.

Gary Mairs
A model of politically engaged cinema, offering a clear-eyed view of a social problem without pretending to have any easy solutions.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
an engaging and soulful masterpiece about a kindergarten teacher in a small French mining town.
Film Journal International
Doris Toumarkine
Will prove too depressing and long-winded for a significant number of U.S. audiences to embrace.
