Critic Reviews for Cold Showers
-
Lots of eye candy here, in various states of undress, supported by director Antony Cordier's quintessentially French approach to storytelling.

The script by Cordier and Julie Peyr is full of characterizations and incidents that are too neat or too cute, all of which Cordier the director hypes enthusiastically.

With a loving eye for its naturally acted adolescent characters and with excellent cinematography, Douches froides finally runs too long to be engaging throughout.

Jan 10, 2009[font=Century Gothic]In "Cold Showers," despite living in a chaotic household with an alcoholic father(Jean-Philippe Ecoffey) and a mother(Florence Thomassin) who rations out the electricity, Mickael(Johan Libereau) is doing well in high school where he is dating Vanessa(Salome Stevenin) and is the captain of the judo team. He is also asked by Louis Steiner(Aurelien Recoing), a local businessman, to train with his son Clement(Pierre Perrier). Better yet, after a win, the team moves onto the European Championship and Steiner offers to sponsor the team but one of the wrestlers is injured in a bit of horseplay. To replace him, Mickael vounteers to lose the 8 kilograms necessary to get down to his weight...[/font] [font=Century Gothic]"Cold Showers" is a sensitive and thoughtful, yet provocative movie about teen sexuality.(Since this is the subject, I will not object to so many scenes being set in the locker rooms.) Even though these characters have the physical maturity to engage in sex, they do not have the emotional maturity to cope with the repercussions. Also on the physical side, Mickael is confident that he can lose enough weight in time without anything going wrong.[/font]Walter M Super Reviewer

Jul 19, 2007Graced by the superb acting of Johan Libéreau whose name I am convinced we will be hearing in the future, <i>Cold Showers</i> is a film that in my opinion will appeal to both younger audiences (for its honesty in portraying the volatile and often unjust world of teenagers) and older audiences (for its nuanced approach to "difficult" themes which Hollywood typically fails to address adequately). In fact, I'm fairly certain one of the main reasons the film attracted Cannes has to do with its fluidity in terms of authenticity-through comedy, explicit sex, and drama. It never plays the politically-correct card. Technically speaking, <i>Cold Showers</i> is beautifully photographed, often with the camera following the main characters closely, and never resorting to flashy trickery that would have softened the film's jagged look. On par with other recent French films about urban life and difficult love, this is undoubtedly a picture that will put Anthony Cordier on the radar for many art-house/international cinema aficionados. He's already on mine, and the fact that I'm fascinated with love triangles has nothing to do with it.Pedro P Super Reviewer
