The screenplay is marred by clumsy foreshadowing and other contrivances, but Téchiné and Sciamma have tapped into something genuine: the deep confusion at the dawn of sexuality. Dec 1, 2016 | Full Review…

Age in Being 17 comes in awkward bursts, and yet the film moves sublimely. Director Téchiné, 73 years old, is wise beyond his years. Nov 18, 2016 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

What elevates the film is not just its beautiful setting in the French Pyrenees but also how the beautiful mountain exteriors serve as a metaphor for characters' inner lives. Nov 10, 2016 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Instead of three acts, Téchiné divides the story into three trimesters, and while the artificial constructs only pile on from there, very little about the film feels false. Apr 1, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
