...you don't need to see "My Sex Life" to enjoy "My Golden Days," which is wonderful by merit for several reasons, including young stars...January 17, 2017
Lou Roy-Lecollinet, Mathieu Amalric and Quentin Dolmaire all give great performances in this emotional roller coaster of a movie. The story itself seems a bit disjointed at times, but it works well enough due to the strength of the main characters.September 06, 2016
A film with a solid script and direction as well as good performances and an amazing soundtrack. [Full review in Spanish]April 14, 2016
The details - some funny, some intensely painful - of Paul and Esther's relationship over the years have a cumulative power that isn't diminished by a few loose ends.November 23, 2016

A sensitive film of surprising changes of rhythm and tone that become constant, enriching in an arborescent way its sense but never modifying it. [Full review in Spanish]April 08, 2016
Desplechin draws uniformly superb performances from his young cast, making the coming-of-age genre seem fresh and vital.April 14, 2016

While the ghosts of teen romances past no doubt hover over many of us, after a while you might find yourself wanting to slap Paul Dedalus across the face.
