Critic Reviews of "A Prophet (2009)"
Orlando SentinelApril 21, 2010A movie that stands with the best prison thrillers from any country; a film that vividly illustrates the connection between prison and the violent, radical form of Islam that keeps much of Europe on edge.
Associated PressApril 02, 2010Audiard has talked about the prospects of a sequel to A Prophet. With the foundation he has built here, it would be a welcome one.
St. Louis Post-DispatchApril 01, 2010A Prophet is essential viewing for art-film buffs and crime-flick fans, but also for anyone who's looking for a great story, terrific acting and masterful filmmaking.
Detroit NewsMarch 26, 2010The success of Malik is sheer American dream via France: Anyone can make it if they try hard enough. Make it at what, of course, is always the question.
Denver PostMarch 19, 2010Audiard never overplays the new experiences facing Malik, be they violent or touching. Yet his tender regard for our complicated hero shines through.
Miami HeraldMarch 17, 2010The film never succumbs to the pitfalls of the prison-movie genre, and there's something poetic about how Audiard, in the midst of all this violence, manages to make a punch to the stomach seem like the most violent act of all.
Film Comment MagazineJuly 12, 2013But with its lush Alexandre Desplat score, deeply shadowed compositions, and fluid, understated camera movement, A Prophet is distinctly an Audiard construction.
Laramie Movie ScopeDecember 30, 2010This is a brutal prison crime drama that shows the transformation of a small-time criminal into a big-time crime boss.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsOctober 06, 2010A movie that has more in common with Jean Genet than Frantz Fanon, but there's enough insights into white colonial domination of Arab peoples to make this a cut above the standard prison melodrama. Highly recommended.
Flicks.co.nzSeptember 06, 2010Like Goodfellas without the visual fizz, or Scarface played straight, this is, quite simply, one of the greatest prison films ever made.
Window to the MoviesAugust 17, 2010An epic-styled comment on the practical side of getting through modern life, with spirituality and loyalty playing side parts to gaining raw skill.
