New Review For Movie The Kid with a Bike
The directing by the Dardenne brothers reflects their previous work: it wants to be unnoticed either for virtuosity or clumsiness, yet only virtuosos can attain this ideal.
Stanley Kauffmann-The New Republic There is not a wasted shot in this stripped down, pared back fable. Yet, it accrues a deep and lasting power. You won't see many better this year.
Tom Charity-CNN.com The film should be required viewing for everyone who has lost faith in the power of random acts of kindness.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune This is a film that's not always easy to watch, but just about impossible to forget.
Calvin Wilson-St. Louis Post-Dispatch "The Kid With a Bike" vibrates with desperation, frustration and the simple unfairness of life, leavened with glimpses of hope.
Tom Long-Detroit News Cyril is one of the most inspiringly resilient, self-aware young characters to arrive on-screen in recent memory...
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post The images speed by so fast that you hardly have time to think. But think you do. And what you think about most are all the lost and neglected children of the world.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger French Loach.
Dan Jardine-Cinemania The Dardennes have once again crafted a lean, efficient film that is plotted with singular purpose without hitting a false note.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com Downbeat but powerful drama about childhood and love.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media It's nonetheless immensely satisfying - not least in its commitment to a child protagonist whose near-feral intensity and unthinking ingratitude make him the polar opposite of cute.
Mike D'Angelo-L.A. Weekly It's a powerful, well-crafted film and a striking depiction of a side of growing up few filmmakers have tried to put on film. Fewer still have captured it with this sort of honesty and emotional gravity.
Mark Deming-TV Guide's Movie Guide [Thrusts] adults into the psychology of a child, pushing them into a confrontation with their own self-involvement.
William Bibbiani-CraveOnline The Dardennes smoothly shift one gear up in the film's coda, offering a sting of humility before a flash of quiet grace. Then we're left watching after one boy on his bike, stubbornly moving, moving, moving, a force to be reckoned with and respected.
Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) A frank, no-nonsense drama filled with compassion for a lost soul kid abandoned by his father.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews ...a deeply humane movie that deserves to be compared with one of its obvious inspirations, Vittorio De Sica's neo-realist classic Bicycle Thieves
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette A moving, sweet and at times harrowing tale...
Rebecca Barry-Flicks.co.nz De France does a terrific job of balancing maternal instinct with matter-of-factness, in a performance that is more human than tender - and all the more powerful for it.
Chris Foran-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Unlike many films, it genuinely earns every feeling it evokes.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) a complex interweaving of bitter reality and a deeply humane worldview that sees the possibility of redemption in even the cruelest of circumstances
James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk A beautiful and stirring story of unconditional compassion, of emotional honesty, and -- above all -- of hope.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune The Dardennes' style resists cheap sentimentality, yet in The Kid with a Bike it yields a deeply moving examination of love as a shield.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema Dardenne brothers set an orphan in search of a father
