Slalom Ratings & Reviews
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's tough stuff, but worth it.
The Spool
Jon Negroni
Favier clearly spent a profound amount of time and energy giving this character study all the time and care it deserves, highlighting the ways abuse - at its most subtle and overt - can warp every aspect of your life.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
"Slalom" makes a strong statement, addressing the victimization head on without ever exploiting the repulsive interaction with titillating moments, as too often happens with molestation stories.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
This is a film that deserves to be seen, and then seen again.
Maven's Nest
Nora Lee Mandel
Intense but narrow portrait of how a man's power over a young protégé can descend from physical and psychological control to sexual abuse...with subdued audience catharsis.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The only thing lacking was a story with more depth.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
Favier approaches MeToo territory with classic French-cinema ambiguity, refusing to shade the characters in strict victim/predator terms even as their actions do pretty much fit that description.
San Francisco Examiner
Anita Katz
Renier brilliantly makes Fred's behavior despicable while giving Fred just enough humanity to make him a credible character instead of a one-note monster.

Peter Sobczynski
Slalom is a hard film to watch... However, it is a well-made and eminently necessary one that tackles an important, if discomfiting, subject with an intriguing combination of restraint and anger that makes it well worth watching.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
Beautifully photographed and acted, Slalom offers powerful twists that engage at every turn.
RogerEbert.com
Tomris Laffly
By telling a story we've all heard a million times before (and perhaps even experienced first-hand to some degree) plainly and bravely, Charlène Favier reaches something urgent and devastating with her feature debut.
Capital Times (Madison, WI)
Rob Thomas
Those gray areas in the story are unsettling, and make for a layered and complicated dynamic between the characters.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"Slalom" has smart insights about our sports industrial complex, sexual misconduct within the system and the way teenagers are thrown into the fire and forced to fend for themselves.
Los Angeles Times
Katie Walsh
Favier keeps a laser focus on Lyz's subjective experience, with a frank and unflinching eye on the moments both euphoric and gut-wrenching.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The film is too rich and too human for any kind of categorization. But for all its beauty, it's also quite an unsettling watch - a delicate, authentic look at the complicated ways in which abuse works.
New York Times
Teo Bugbee
The writer and director, Charlène Favier, had previous experience as a competitive skier, and she is attentive to the textures of mountainside sports and how abuse plays out in this setting.
Slant Magazine
Carson Lund
The film's real subject is a young woman awakening to her oppression, rendered poignant in all its awkwardness by Noée Abita.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
What makes Slalom more than a mere movie of the week is how it remains, from start to finish, an engrossingly subjective account of ambivalence and abuse...
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
If Lyz can find a way to be proud of herself, that might prove to be the most lasting victory of all.
Variety
Jessica Kiang
Well-made, perceptively performed and deeply enraging, it's a difficult but necessary watch...
