Polytechnique Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Villeneuve does a superb job of slowly-but-surely building the tension in the time frame before Lpine begins his assault...
New York Times
A.O. Scott
The virtue - and also the limitation - of this movie is that it confronts senselessness and insists on remaining calm and sane.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Denis Villeneuve's unnerving abstraction of the subject matter daringly relays his view of the human cost of gender warfare.
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
S'il ne parvient jamais prouver sa ncessit, Polytechnique s'impose tout le moins comme une oeuvre cinmatographique tout ce qu'il y a de plus pertinente
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Polytechnique smartly exposes the spectrum of misogyny without overplaying the connection between the two incidents. Which makes the concluding flash-forward scene all the more disappointing.
Variety
Rob Nelson
Lensed in black-and-white, the 77-minute film is plenty arty and only arguably constructive in its tasteful fictionalization of a violent tragedy.
Hollywood Reporter
Ray Bennett
Filmed in black and white, the French-language film does not set out to comprehend the crime other than to suggest that the shooter (played with a vacant stare by Maxim Gaudette) was a pathetic loser who chose to blame women for his empty life.
MUBI
Fernando F. Croce
A well-meaning memoriam designed to revisit still-aching wounds only to tastefully dull them, the film aims for a combination of requiem and nightmare but, like Incendies.
