Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan
Succeeds by never tipping its hand or losing its equilibrium while its characters often seem to be doing nothing but.
Read Full Review >Film.com David D'Arcy
The nuanced performances by Maud Forget and Lou Doillon help give Bad Company its extraordinary credibility.
Read Full Review >Village Voice J. Hoberman
A considerably more unsettling tale of one-sided amour fou, reportedly inspired by an actual case of teenage prostitution, Jean-Pierre Améris's Bad Company puts the coy prurience of American high school films in brutal perspective.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Ken Fox
By the time it's over, this deeply unsettling tale of romantic obsession strays far from the usual course of teen flicks and into some very dark territory.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Ty Burr
As a tale of adolescent sexuality warped by passion, though, Bad Company is less compelling and more exploitative than its makers think.
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
If you're not in the mood for explicit discussions (and occasional depictions) of the sex life of French adolescents, close your eyes.
