Lensed in black-and-white, the 77-minute film is plenty arty and only arguably constructive in its tasteful fictionalization of a violent tragedy.

Reviews for Polytechnique

Top CriticFilmed in black and white, the French-language film does not set out to comprehend the crime other than to suggest that the shooter (played with a vacant stare by Maxim Gaudette) was a pathetic loser who chose to blame women for his empty life.

Top CriticAlmost from beginning to end, we're filled with dread and, I must say, a morbid sense of anticipation.

S'il ne parvient jamais à prouver sa nécessité, Polytechnique s'impose à tout le moins comme une oeuvre cinématographique tout ce qu'il y a de plus pertinente

Polytechnique is a sharply-observed piece of cinema if a simplistic exploration of the gender divide.
