The Workshop's reviews
Media reviews
Screen Daily
The Workshop conveys a stunningly authentic portrait of French youth today.
Variety
A sly, supple and repeatedly surprising collision of literary, moral and political lines of debate that marks an enthralling return to form for writer-director Laurent Cantet.
The Guardian
It?s a film which demonstrates that debate, the exchange of ideas, can be as thrilling as any ramped up action flick.
The Hollywood Reporter
A smart social thriller that blurs the lines between reality and fiction
The Wrap
Though the film occasionally assumes the airs of a slow-burning thriller, the overall product remains a firmly intellectual exercise.
The A.V. Club
Cantet remains a gifted filmmaker ? The Workshop?s semi-improvisational aspects are no less impressive than those in "The Class," and he?s at least superficially engaged with the current state of the world ? but this isn?t the return to form that his fans have awaited over the past decade.
