Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: A kinetic delight, Reprise comes from director Joachim Trier, born in Denmark but raised in Oslo, Norway, and it's a highlight of the filmgoing year so far. Read more
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture: An exhilarating weave of childhood remembrance, projection, literary digression, and impish commentary. Read more
J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader: The movie is enjoyable for its flashy surfaces--the witty editing, the narrative forecasting, the droll omniscient voice-over--but as drama it seems superficial. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: It's a fine film by any standard, on any scale. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: Reprise is not just about engaging with or surviving through the creative instinct. It is that instinct. Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: The vibrant Norwegian debut feature Reprise is one of those rare films about writers where form matches content, with fresh insights about the literary world coming via a complex, liberating series of flashbacks, ellipses, and other bold flourishes. Read more
Richard Nilsen, Arizona Republic: If you are young, male and dream of making a name for yourself in the arts, Reprise is about the joys and sufferings of that quest: It is a Jules and Jim for the punk-rock generation. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Reprise, a vibrant new Norwegian film, burns with the passions of literature and youth. Read more
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times: [Director Joachim Trier] captures, in a way that's cool and romantic and heady, the moment in life when nothing matters more than ideas, influences and the possibility of shaping one's life into a work of art. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: A Norwegian movie that often looks and feels like a resurrected specimen of the French New Wave. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: The word 'Reprise' may mean recurrence, but Trier's fleet, joyously intellectual film comes at us like anything but a retread. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: The jagged energy of this film's opening and closing moments leave you wondering where it might have gone and what it might have been. Read more
Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: Like his subjects, Norwegian writer-director Joachim Trier is young and bursting with ambition Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: A savage, funny, tender, tragic and strangely beautiful riff on being young and growing up in a broken world. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: The kind of discovery that comes along only a few times a year (if we're lucky), Joachim Trier's energetic, inventive debut takes such a novel approach to well-worn themes that it makes most movies look downright lazy. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Trier's intent is to reproduce a sweet, hazy vision of the agony of youth. Ever so elliptically, he succeeds. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Drawing inspiration from the young-artists-in-angst tales of Godard, Truffaut and the French new wave, Joachim Trier's Reprise is both a charming homage and a vibrant work in its own right. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The cinema is an ideal medium for considering characters like those in "Reprise," but you'd have to see Jules and Jim to find out why. Read more
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle: Reprise has a smart and knowing script and will compel audiences to reflect on themselves at that age. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: It's an invigorating brew of dynamic visuals, quicksilver emotions, playful storytelling and chic, good-looking actors. Read more
David Fear, Time Out: Trier's blend of genuine coolness, flesh-and-blood characters and a portrait of creative types that hits marrow, however, is a hat trick we'd gladly watch ad infinitum. Read more
Wally Hammond, Time Out: It's a by-turns flip and searching cineaste's rites-of-passage drama -- both for the characters and the director -- that deals entertainingly with the rivalries, doubts, fears and sexual entanglements of its twentysomething milieu. Read more
