I sat through this film without recognizing that

I sat through this film without recognizing that it had a firm, yet unimposing hold on me. It reminded me of my youth as four young people were basically finding their way in the world. I just found the film painting a very realistic portrait about the struggle young people go through but find it hard to imagine a film like this coming out of Hollywood. The acting is superb. For young US audiences, addicted to fast paced action and empty plots I think there would be a hard time dealing with the dialogue. If I could write film reviews I'd write one. All I can say is that this film is a must see.

The first word that comes to mind when

The first word that comes to mind when watching Wild Reeds is 'delicate' - young people on the cusp of adulthood wrestling with inner confusion regarding their own identities, unsure how to express themselves and leaving an uncertain chemistry in their small friend group as they try to reconcile their own feelings with the expectations of the world around them. With a detailed, careful treatment of human emotion and vulnerability, Téchiné delivers a coming-of-age story that touches on a social backdrop (the Algerian War) without getting tied down to its particular details, bringing out nuanced and subdued performances from his acting talent. Certainly a slow burn and not to all tastes, but a good representative of the capabilties of Téchiné as a director and his personal preference to focus on the complexities of human emotion. Emotional without feeling melodramatic. (3.5/5)

I love the way everyone's personalities, ideologies, and perspectives keep crashing into each other here. It's all very specific to a particular time in France and yet its still universal.
