B-
"It offers a coming-of-age tale told unflaggingly from the point of view of a pouting, humorless and unsympathetic nine-year-old."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

"The film lacks a sympathetic character even in its eternally petulant child protagonist and is lax in differentiating who's who."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Donald J. Levit

4/5
"An extraordinary French drama about the reactions of a conservative nine-year old girl to the radical politics and changes brought into her life by her parents."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3.5/5
"That [Kevel's] in almost every frame, with the entire film resting on her shoulders, makes documentarian Gavras's first feature even more remarkable."  Film-Forward.com  Kent Turner

A
"...simply one of the best films ever from a child's point of view."  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

3.5/4
"Gavras uses Anna's precocious reason to tackle a generation's idealism head-on."  Slant Magazine  Paul Schrodt

A-
"...an adult-level film that does a great job of giving a child's view of a world in the throes of change."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford
