Critic Reviews

Keith Uhlich

It would be risible if Ozon’s hand didn’t remain so steady and confident throughout, all the way up to a complicatedly upbeat conclusion that recreates the Christian Annunciation with the straightest of faces. Read full review

Sam Adams

The frisson between the two halves is intriguing for a while, but it leaves the film feeling adrift. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

In this season of self-important filmmaking, it's nice to watch a movie that entertains while refusing to take itself too seriously. Read full review

Stephen Holden

The deeper Ricky plunges into allegory, the shakier its grasp of the material. Read full review

Boyd van Hoeij

Because Ozon doesn't develop his characters once Ricky shows his true nature, the movie's slightly overcooked working-class realism quickly morphs into a grotesque -- and admittedly funny -- story of a mutant baby. Read full review

Melissa Anderson

Ozon's fractured-working-class-family magical realism, liberally adapted from Rose Tremain's short story, "Moth," works best in specific moments. Read full review

Joe Neumaier

Imagine a quietly creepy "X-Men" prequel -- in French -- and you have this odd little parable. Read full review
