The most remarkable quality about it is that the movie actually has a subject.
Top CriticIn some of its details, it resembles Francois Truffaut's The 400 Blows.
Tells its story so effectively through pictures it's barely necessary to read the subtitles.
Director Lea Pool has fashioned an engaging film about one girl's coming of age.
Well-made but old hat.
The performances in Set Me Free are all gentle, lovely creations that are of a piece with the film's humanistic touch.
A disarming, recognizable slice of life.
