for all its gripping excitement as a thriller, and its grim realism as a sociopolitical exposé of life inside, A Prophet is also concerned with the mysterious processes of education, assimilation and transfiguration.
The film shows Audiard to be the biggest beast in new French cinema.
French master Jacques Audiard has challenged the thus-far mostly middling Cannes competition with a powerful prison drama that's an old-fashioned Bildungsroman in in-your-face, intensely realistic disguise.
Top Critic'A Prophet’ is never less than believable, thoughtful and, although very uncomfortable at points, incredibly entertaining.
A Prophet is a compelling, forceful drama.
Audiard reaches a new level with this impeccably modulated prison drama. This is exhilarating filmmaking, a movie which instantly takes its place alongside the greats of the crime movie genre.
A beautifully made but not completely intellectually satisfying mirror on contemporary French upward mobility.
Full review at Movies for the Masses
A Prophet works both as hard-edged, painstaking detailed social realism and as a compelling genre entertainment.
A smart, stylishly-directed and compulsively watchable thriller.
A Prophet is an astonishingly detailed crime drama that could end up being this year's Gomorra, but although it's arguably more accessible.
