90Brings maximum subtlety, nuance and insight into the timeless story of first love.
-
90The elusive, quicksilver nature of young love is often reduced to crude simplicities by the movies, but director Sebastien Lifshitz and writing partner Stephane Bouquet have observed it with a superb balance of aesthetics and insight in Come Undone.
-
90Charged by Rideau's amazingly sexy performance as the most forthright gay character put on screen to date, this is a fine piece of filmmaking.
-
80A melancholy valentine to broken hearts and lost innocence.
-
Turns increasingly interior and emotionally complex. It refuses to connect, putting the pressure entirely on its viewers to reach their own conclusions.
-
75A delicately managed piece that is by turns intimately detailed and elliptical, and that's an approach that suits the tangled emotions of its two protagonists.
-
75The photography is strong, the performances sympathetic and the sex plentiful.
-
70A moody, subtle drama that has more in common with the tragedy of "Endless Love" than "Where The Boys Are."
-
70Come Undone's true subject is, simply enough, the perspective-warping enormity of first love, as preserved in a scrapbook of before-and-after snapshots.
-
70Ultimately, Come Undone isn't a movie about homosexuality, depression or family dynamics. For a gay coming-out story, its sexual politics are extremely muted.
-
67If the sensitive coming-of-age love story is a well-worn tradition in gay cinema, Come Undone is at the very least a superior example of it.
-
63Come Undone would have benefited immensely from less constricted performances from Elkaim and Rideau, both of whom go through the film determined not to crack a smile.
-
60Come Undone is the quintessential gay date at the art house.
-
50There isn't much here besides two self-absorbed kids.
-
50Achingly slow, at times bleak and, in the end, frustratingly and regrettably, rather pointless.
-
38One of those French films whose makers won't lower themselves to tell a story in a way that is entertaining or compelling.
