Variety - Jean-Benoit Durand, first met as an agitated tweenie on a beach, is a bright but disruptive kid. Bulk of pic follows him in his 17th year, as he struggles to keep a job as an apprentice at a local garage, where his lack of concentration and defiance of authority rub his boss and co-workers up the wrong way. Gradually, as Durand opens up more to Nion, it transpires just how damaging his background has been. Jean-Benoit's g.f., Helena, a quiet but doggedly loyal girl his own age, gives him the love his own family can't: Passages showing the two young lovers have a more poetic quality. Overall look is gritty and handheld.
