Village Voice

Dec 9, 2014

Serge Bozon's smart, surprising, marvelously realized French crime-and-sex police drama/comedy distinguishes itself with trenchant plotting, inspired framing, and performances that honor true human feeling even as they lunge into the screwball.

By Alan Scherstuhl FULL REVIEW

Variety

Dec 9, 2014

An utterly brazen mix of screwball comedy, film noir and sharp social commentary that hits its own strange bullseye more often than not, Bozon’s third full-length feature (and first since 2007’s WWI musical, “La France”) benefits immeasurably from actors willing to go as far out on a limb as their intrepid director.

By Scott Foundas FULL REVIEW

Slant Magazine

Dec 11, 2014

Instead of finding one consistent tone and sticking to it, Serge Bozon allows the wildly hilarious and the grimly serious to uneasily coexist, exulting in the resultant clash.

By Kenji Fujishima FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Dec 9, 2014

Shot in precisely composed frames, with recurring visual motifs and an eye-pleasing color palette that accentuates blue hues, Tip Top is commendably ambitious in its Godardian attempts to deconstruct the police thriller format, but it's only partially successful.

By Stephen Dalton FULL REVIEW

The A.V. Club

Dec 10, 2014

Confirms director and co-screenwriter Serge Bozon as one of French cinema’s true oddballs.

By Mike D'Angelo FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Dec 11, 2014

The humor of this situation — or of any of the movie’s strained wackiness — doesn’t particularly translate. It also does little to illuminate the more serious commentary on immigration, the legacy of colonialism and the tensions within the country’s Algerian communities.

The Guardian

Dec 9, 2014

There's so much thrown into Tip Top that nothing stands out.
