Surprising, invigorating and sharply frank.

2.5/4

Husson captures the restless rhythms of adolescence-the push-pull of angst and boredom, of self-consciousness and the yearning to lose oneself completely.

2/5

A bit too superficial in its conclusions on modern adolescence to be remembered.

The director, also a screenwriter, fails to make any character interesting. [Full Review in Spanish]

3/5

Overall the teenage relationships aren't really delineated, a moralistic twist near the end appears out of nowhere, as does the sudden, unrealistic pairing-up of two of the main characters that gives the film the justification for its subtitle.

Bang Gang's shock value comes from the sense of the audience being included in something private, in joining in with some middle-class French kids learning about themselves through sexual play.

A coming of age summer for a group of disparate teens is enticing and dismaying.

In a lot of ways this movie comes off as an over-the-top, MTV-meets-P*rnhub parody of French youth culture. But there's a real story here, and while it doesn't always make sense, it's all strangely relatable and engaging. It's a unique film, and I liked it.

A pretty good movie about a group of wild teenagers who play sexual games with each other while their parents are away.

There's nothing in the story that's profound, yet, I knew exactly what Husson was getting at. It's the cinematography that gives this film its life.

Bored, unsupervised, oversexed rich teenagers are not even close to "modern."
