Katie Walsh

Husson’s film details the consequences of such free love, but it celebrates sex too — the kind based on intimacy and love. Teens and sex: it’s a tale as old as time but this take is surprising, invigorating and sharply frank. Read full review

Here is a rare new entry in that smallest of sub-genres: Movies that don’t punish teens for f--king their brains out (surprise surprise: it’s French). Read full review

Kyle Smith

If it’s possible to make a morally old-fashioned film about teen orgies, writer-director Eva Husson has done so with Bang Gang, a quietly chilling look at the sex lives of a group of bored high-school students. Read full review

Ben Nicholson

Husson sketches teenage ennui well, and crafts complicated and watchable characters around which to base the core of her drama. The slip-up comes in a final act that bows out of the previously constructed conflict in disappointingly obvious fashion. Read full review

Time Out London Cath Clarke

It’s refreshing to see a movie like this directed by a woman, Eva Husson, so boys and girls are objectified equally. Which is not to say this passes the feminism test. Read full review

Bang Gang goes out of its way to avoid stereotyping. Where a Hollywood equivalent would almost certainly punish George, “Bang Gang” refuses to designate clear-cut heroes and villains. Read full review

Eva Husson's controversy-courting debut is neither as lewdly subversive or as raucously debauched as its provocative title. Read full review

Films are know for making a fictional depiction of reality; this films shows us an "exaggerated" dramatization of teenage sexual liberty nowadays. Is a relaxed film, but strong in its own way by the end.
