Critics Consensus

While not as innovative as its title, Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person offers a dark-ish comedic take on a teen love story between misfits that renders a strangely sweet bite.

3/5

All round the film has less bite than you’d expect. But it’s stylishly shot by first-timer Louis-Seize, a bit reminiscent of an early Jim Jarmusch movie with its deadpan sense of humour, never trying too hard, just a little bit too cool for school.

This French vampire dramedy may not be groundbreaking, but its strong leads and dry humor make it well worth watching.

A charming, dark, comedic romp for a new generation that is a welcoming new branch to the vampire cinema tree.

The idea of a reluctant vampire refusing to bite its victims isn't original... And certainly Louise-Seize and her co-writer Christine Doyon fail to come up with any new or clever variations on the premise... [Full review in Spanish]

The smokescreen of a vampire movie lets it navigate treacherous waters with levity, deftly touching on difficult topics.

This movie was very symbolic in terms of parental projection and pressure, resisting and ultimately embracing your true self. It was sweet, endearing and joy to watch. I highly recommend it.

Una historia que toca un tema delicado, y la trama de los dos introvertidos que se conocen me parece bien lograda.

Sasha é uma vampira que não consegue matar humanos para se alimentar do seu sangue. É, então, que ela conhece Paul, um adolescente depressivo que tem tendências suicidas. Ao assistir este filme, me lembrei da história do canibal que pôs um anúncio no jornal, procurando alguém que se oferecesse como alimento para ele. E o pior que ele conseguiu. Aqui, basicamente, temos a mesma história. De um lado, temos uma vampira tão humanista que não consegue atacar um ser humano para se alimentar, já que nem as suas presas crescem. De outro lado, temos Paul que decide unir as suas tendências suicidas ao desejo de sangue de Sasha. Porém, aqui tudo é tratado com humor e leveza, com um ar de comédia romântica adolescente, mas sem deixar o lado vampiresco da história. O que é interessante são os detalhes. Sasha tomando sangue de uma bolsa de sangue como se fosse um milk shake. A família de Sasha que chega perto da Família Addams em estranheza e comicidade. O elenco é muito bom e sustenta o absurdo da história. Além do mais, a trilha sonora é muito boa, principalmente Emotions, com Brenda Lee, que serve como uma apresentação de Sasha para Paul e a divertida canção final, Drácula Yé-Yé. Uma boa surpresa despertada pelo título curioso.
