An exquisite tale about coming of age and coming to terms. Read full review

Richard Lawson

May 19, 2018

A chewy, handsomely staged novel of a movie, Sorry Angel (whose much better French title translates to Pleasure, Love, and Run Fast) contains moments of piercing intelligence and heartbreaking beauty. It’s an epic diptych look at two lives converging, one in many ways just beginning, the other faltering to a close. I was absolutely in love with it—until the very end. Read full review

Jon Frosch

May 19, 2018

While it has visual energy to spare, the movie is more relaxed and less flamboyantly playful than most of Honore’s other films, unfolding with naturalistic grace — precise but unfussy framing, fluid camera movements — and fewer New Wave-y winks and nods. Read full review

The Telegraph Robbie Collin

May 19, 2018

Though the film resists easy categorisation, it often tumbles along like queer screwball, which chimes with its original French title: Plaire, Aimer et Courir Vite, or Give Pleasure, Love and Run Fast. It’s a fine manifesto, and Honoré’s film excels at all three. Read full review

IndieWire Eric Kohn

May 19, 2018

Sorry Angel doesn’t strain from too much ambition; it’s a sharp snapshot of two men at pivotal moments in their lives, and ends on a note not too different from the one it starts on. But that cycle is central to its gentle intellectual flow. Read full review

May 19, 2018

Whether it’s a self-portrait, a series of sketches, an artist who is continuously working over a painful loss, Honore’s film betrays mixed emotions that may never be resolved as he carries the losses of that time with him forever. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

May 19, 2018

It is often poignant and humorous but also placid and complacent, with performances bordering on the self-regarding and even faintly insufferable. Read full review
