Sauvage/Wild Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
Leah Pickett
The central thrust of this graphic French drama may be a radical notion to some: that a sex worker can enjoy the wild, carnal freedom that his or her job can provide, while also being vulnerable to its dangers.
Philadelphia Gay News
Gary M. Kramer
"Sauvage/Wild" is compelling and moving - and much of that is because of the magnetic Maritaud.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
What's the old saw about war? That it's long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror? Tweaked a little, the line serves pretty well as a description of Sauvage. All that's required is the addition of "and/or emotion" at the end.
San Diego CityBeat
Glenn Heath Jr.
It ends up feeling like a cop-out. What's not is Maritaud's moving performance as a young man trying to find his place in a world made up of different prisons.
In Review Online
Mattie Lucas
Isn't necessarily as emotionally satisfying as it is enigmatic, a conundrum as unsure of itself as its protagonist, yet somehow wildly, hauntingly beautiful.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
What French director-writer Camille Vidal-Naquet reveals in her well-constructed but grim debut, "Sauvage / Wild," is how tedious the job is.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
At once unpolished and corrosive, Sauvage/Wild is immersed in a grim reality... forces us to reflect on behaviors and choices, and ultimately fear, emptiness, and loneliness.
MiamiArtZine
Rubén Rosario
An engaging portrait of life in the margins.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
By the end, we've experienced one of the best films about street hustling ever made.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
Vidal-Naquet's film knows that every wound and balm to the flesh is also one to the spirit.
Filmmixtape
Chris Feil
[S]hirks tidiness or the dishonesty of an overly pat, definitively complete character arc. The film is a dark night of the soul where personal demons might always remain to haunt, where darkness has as much potential undertow as optimism.
National Review
Armond White
Sauvage/Wild is surprising and compelling for scenes that constantly convince you of Leo's sympathetic humanity, whether he is being childlike, naïve, angry, tender, filthy, or troublesome.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
French filmmaker Camille Vidal-Naquet offers a raw and riveting portrait of a gay male sex worker (the quietly devastating Félix Maritaud) and the aching tenderness he brings to his brutal profession.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
The movie never feels voyeuristic, and if you're looking for a seemingly credible slice of life on the streets, this will fill the bill nicely.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
It's tough to build a character study around an unconvincing character.
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The film is a tale about how those who spiral so far out of control become blind, if not immune, to the severity of their symptoms.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Vidal-Naquet's direction is at its most bracing and palpable when it pits the unsentimental (even brutal) physicality of Leo's work against the tenderness that he waxes onto it.
Variety
Guy Lodge
It's a film that scrutinizes male bodies - whether lithely tattooed or creased like crepe paper - with an attentive but uncritical eye.
Vanity Fair
Richard Lawson
Nevertheless, the film achieves a sort of grace, in moments of sweetness and stillness, when the fullness of Leo's being-be it ravaged and weary-is palpable and, finally, undeniable.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Raw, uncompromising and yet strangely romantic.
