Its approach to certain issues is ambiguous, and, at times, manipulative and irresponsible. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 4, 2022

Polisse is a finely wrought piece of compelling cinema, and certainly demonstrates that in the director's chair, Maiwenn is someone to watch out for.

| Jul 24, 2019

When Polisse sticks to its realistic fly-on-the-wall approach to the CPU it's some of the best filmmaking from this year, but its poor attempts to make the film more of a character piece hold it back from being truly great.

| Original Score: 7.8/10 | Jul 3, 2019

Despite all the best intentions, Maïwenn's CPU melodrama feels like a 온라인카지노추천 mini-series hastily re-edited for the big screen, with little or no cinematic consideration.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 10, 2019

That emphasis on realism, in plot and portrayal, has paid off.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 3, 2019

[Maiwenn] ets such good performances out of a huge cast that one can forgive the navel-gazing, and in a movie about a police force with management issues, she is clearly an effective manager.

| Aug 30, 2018

Supremely and superbly character-driven, this film is a throwback to many of the best police dramas of the past.

| Sep 18, 2017

The ensemble cast is natural, lively and truthful. The balance of personal stories and criminal cases is perfect.

It has the makings for a pretty good cop show. But as a movie, this 'inside' look at the dozen or so dedicated members of the Parisian Child Protection Unit is conspicuously lacking in coherence and depth.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 2, 2013

It gets across its message on the plight of the innocent children.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 23, 2013

The French drama is a gritty and intimate look at big-city detectives that had me wondering what the French word for "wire" is.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 12, 2012

...a tough and mostly rewarding ride, sort of like a full season of a novelistic cable drama like The Wire compressed into a two-hour serving ...

| Original Score: 89/100 | Sep 10, 2012

[O]ne of the best based-on-facts police pictures.

| Aug 8, 2012

Polisse connects fitfully through its sheer urgency -- it's a work of deep feeling. But the movie, which opts for a baseline emotional setting of overheated, eventually starts to come across as pummeling, and one-note.

| Original Score: C | Jul 29, 2012

A (chaotic) tour-de-force ...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 19, 2012

It's an affecting film that's has stuck with me since I left the theatre.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 30, 2012

Whatever you think of it, you won't be neutral.

"Polisse" made me wonder how to say, "Its reach exceeds its grasp," in French.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 28, 2012

Though made as a feature film, Polisse looks suspiciously like a few episodes of medium-quality 온라인카지노추천 stapled together...a contender for one of the most overrated films of 2012.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 26, 2012

A cohesive energy and dramatic weight draws us ever tighter to its gut wrenching centre
