Director Jeanne Leblanc and co-writer Judith Baribeau pull no punches in portraying the malicious underbelly of the town at the center of Les nôtres. Read full review

VarietyJessica KiangJun 19, 2021
Les Nôtres” remains — right up to its tight, repressed ending — a deeply disquieting, superbly performed evocation of a very banal sort of evil. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJun 18, 2021
Give Leblanc credit, though. Any time you make a movie with well-played characters who compel the audience to want to shout at the screen, you’ve accomplished something. Read full review

For better and worse, the script has a clear depiction of contemporary good and evil and an efficient movie-of-the-week purposefulness, to the point where you half expect to see a helpline number before the closing credits. Read full review

The New York TimesNicolas RapoldJun 17, 2021
The film’s drama wrestles itself to a standstill (along with leaving some characterization sketchy, like that of a concerned social worker). Yet Leblanc might come closer to the sensation of concealed trauma than movies with more familiar storytelling beats. Read full review

Overall, Les nôtres fails to dive into the depths of its subject matter, hinting at a dark underbelly that it never full explores. Read full review

IndieWireRyan LattanzioJun 18, 2021
While the raw material for something twisted and operatic exists here, Leblanc is too committed to putting meters of space between herself and the material to fully absorb the viewer. The motivations for that choice, however arty, are uncertain. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleJun 17, 2021
What keeps Les Nôtres from being effective, however, is that it rarely makes the transition from coolly observed case study to compellingly messy, resonant human drama. Read full review
