Often crass and never politically correct, Louise-Michel ultimately fails to reach its potential.

Reviews for Louise-Michel
I love good black comedy, but I really didn't get this one. Perhaps it whizzed over my head like some of those bullets.
These two losers are so uncharming, so witless, so unfunny that I really found this film about them an arduous experience.
This is the best comedy I've seen since Burn After Reading or Death At A Funeral. It's terrific.
As stylists, Kervern and Delepine specialise in turning industrial landscapes into cartoon playgrounds, through sight gags that rely on offscreen space -- leaving crucial events to the imagination.
In its funniest moments, the film displays the delicate timing of the best silent comedies.
Complete with an absurdist black humour and a bizarre collection of farcical set pieces, Louise-Michel is a hit and miss affair.
Anarchic craziness makes the revolutionary message go down smoothly in Louise-Michel.
