Critic Reviews
-
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Love is a universe of two in Philippe Garrel's fatalistic romance Frontier of Dawn.
-
Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York
Garrel père reunites with Garrel fils for this frequently tedious rumination on rabid passion that still manages to linger in the mind.
-
Chris Cabin, Filmcritic.com
Garrel has mastered a own very personal tone that makes even a minor work such as this feel essential and vital
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Tedious fatalistic French melodrama.
-
Avi Offer, NYC Movie Guru
Has exquisite cinematography and an initially absorbing and compelling plot which, midway, loses steam and becomes pretentious and awkward while leaving you with a bad aftertaste.
