Critic Reviews of "Partisan"
Time OutJanuary 06, 2016A film trying so hard to upend expectations that it loses itself in the process.
San Diego ReaderOctober 08, 2015Jeremy Chabriel is arresting as the increasingly uneasy youngster, and director and co-writer Ariel Kleiman proves adept at both world-building and attention-focusing.
Los Angeles TimesOctober 04, 2015It's hard to tell if director and co-writer Ariel Kleiman is being serious or sarcastic with a story this preposterous.
RogerEbert.comOctober 02, 2015A moody drama that employs a dystopian-type premise that is not too far afield from a typical young-adult book series although with loftier aspirations and a less propulsive pace.
New York TimesOctober 01, 2015Usually, partisans stand for something, but in this movie, which is stripped of a specific time frame and relevant geopolitical context, the term becomes hollow.
Toronto StarOctober 01, 2015Newcomer Jeremy Chabriel commands as 11-year-old Alexander, a chosen son whose dawning sense of right and wrong challenges the social order. An auspicious beginning, for him and Kleiman.
4:3April 01, 2017... a world of seductive, ungraspable danger that is as dark and wondrous as any bedtime fairytale.
Total FilmDecember 12, 2016Kleiman seems less interested in explaining the whys of his scenario than in observing his characters and their interactions -- a strategy that pays off thanks to excellent lead turns.
Movie TalkMay 15, 2016The storytelling is possibly a little too wilfully obscure, but whenever the protagonists leave the commune's walled-in compound, the desolate urban landscape outside - shot in the former Soviet republic of Georgia - makes a powerful impression.
The Film StageFebruary 24, 2016A patiently unfolding drama that displays the lengths one will go to provide shelter and community, and what happens if you step out of bounds.
Contactmusic.comFebruary 05, 2016With his feature debut, young Australian filmmaker Ariel Kleiman tells a creepy story about a cult-like commune, anchored by a riveting performance from French actor Vincent Cassel.
