Clotaire falls for his schoolmate Jackie, charmed by her fearless spirit and sharp wit. As first love blossoms between the two, gang violence entices him into a darker path and destroys everything when he is charged with a crime he didn't commit.

The New Yorker

The result is much too long at nearly three hours, but I can’t say I didn’t warm to its rambunctious cornball charm.

Times (UK)

Here’s a French romance-cum-crime-flick that’s done with so much brio — and the odd flash of the unexpected — that you forgive its detours into cliché.

Rated: 4/5

Guardian

Civil and Exarchopoulos (and Frikah and Wanecque) give it everything they’ve got and that is a great deal. But this can’t prevent Beating Hearts being an unsatisfying experience.

Rated: 2/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

These final moments are thrillingly subversive and move away from the predictable conclusion that most saw coming [...]. But it isn’t enough to save Beating Hearts from being anything more than an admirable formal exercise.

Rated: 2.5/5

I don't get people who didn't enjoy Beating Hearts. Full of hope, great actors and breathtaking cinematography. I cried a few times during the movie. It didn't feel long at all. Cinema at its peak. One of my fav movies ever.

This movie is a masterpiece cinematographic was directed by Gilles Lellouche in 2024. The acting is really well led by Adèle Exarchopoulos, François Civil, Malik Frikah and Mallory Waneck in the role of Clotaire and Jackie the two main characters. Despite the length of the film which lasts 2h46. The plot is very captivant because she talks about the love of two teenagers and the passion they have for each other despite the illegal activities and the prison that separated them. Be going to they will end up together or separate and not live their love as he wanted ? In my opinion I really recommend this movie because its plot is really intriguing and captivating, time passes really quickly. It’s really one of the best French movies.

watching the retro introductory credits i was reminded of cecil b demil epic movies and this was certainly an epic at nearly two and a half hours. a musical, a thriller, a long drawn out romance, a punkish soundtrack kept it moving and the incarnations of the romantic leads were well cast. tragedy, love, friendship, family and violence oscillated between cliche and moments of genuine feeling.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A moving film blending romance, gangsters, art, high school, and French cinema. Beautifully crafted with thoughtful details in both visuals and content. Simple, clever, and complex all at once.
