3.5/5
"The film rejects the stereotypes that frequently dog gay characters, allowing them to flourish, although the female protagonists feel less fleshed out"
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
"In Techine's nuance-sensitive Aids drama, the characters feel as real as they are multi-faceted - but they are rarely engaging."
Channel 4 Film
Anton Bitel
3.5/4
"A moral tale that isn't saddled with moralism,
The Witnesses
is a novelistic film in the best sense."
Slant Magazine
Bill Weber
"Téchiné proves he remains one of the foremost chroniclers of French life and human relationships in general with his haunting new drama
Les Témoins (The Witnesses)
."

2/5
"little more than a cursory glance at a particularly eventful period in history, one that deserves art of a more thoughtful nature."

Chris Barsanti
"Téchiné films Johan Libéreau, who plays Manu, the fresh-faced young boy coming of age in The Witnesses, with the sort of discretion that gives mystery and dignity to human beauty."
