(1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 91% Fresh Page   1   "Uncannily like Truffaut's Jules et Jim in its ability to seamlessly synthesise the heedless energy of youth and its pronounced melancholy undercurrents."   european-films.net   Boyd van Hoeij 4/5 "The personal nature of such a film begets the feeling of ownership, especially for the twentysomethings out there. It's about revolting from everything, even revolution."   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin C "Norwegian auteur Joachim Trier isn't a close relative of Lars von Trier, but his debut feature film bares the characteristics of an ambitious if overreaching young filmmaker taunting his elders to scold him for his audacity."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Anguished and ambitious, the man-boy writers in Joachim Trier's Reprise imagine themselves into alternate lives."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 3/4 "The highs and lows of getting one's first book published are intricately and delightfully examined in Norwegian director Joachim Trier's mature feature debut."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "This groovy little film is spiked with an arresting, hyper-saturated mix of sadness and joy."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "There's less than meets the eye to Joachim Trier's Reprise, but the loose, limber visual style gives the picture a certain panache."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A clever and playful Norwegian film about two friends and their literary adventures."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat A- "Reprise does not allow its characters to follow an easy arc from puerility to maturity, even questioning the possibility of whether such an arc, simple or difficult, exists."   Cinepinion   Henry Stewart B "...owes more than a nod to Tom Tykwer's fate-bending fairy tale, "Run Lola Run," with its narrated 'what if' and flight of fancy' scenarios which continually spin off the main action."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford A- "That rare debut in which self-conscious formal daring proves exhilarating rather than excruciating."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager  (1 - 11) of 11 OFCS Rating: 91% Fresh Page   1
