Stupid Boy Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Garon Stupide is the rare piece of European sexual realism centered completely on a boy's awakening. Young women have dominated the genre in the last 10 years, especially in France. So the film is a welcome, though inferior changeup.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
Unfortunately, just when you think Garcon Stupide is going somewhere, Baier screws it up with a melodramatic climax and a political message.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Garcon Stupide never quite convinces us that it has a greater moral agenda beyond its graphic material.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
[It's] unclear is why anyone would want to see this slog through the gutter or, even more, why young director Lionel Baier would want to make it...
Austin Chronicle
Marrit Ingman
Garon Stupide is interesting enough to merit an audience broader than its intended niche, though it isn't perfect.
TheMovieChicks.com
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone
It's more than just a sexploitation film, but not much more.
Dallas Morning News
Mario Tarradell
Understanding the ins and outs of a young, detached psyche requires careful cinematic dialogue and introspection, qualities Mr. Baier can't muster in his feature debut.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
It's the kind of discomforting movie that seems designed to remind you of wrong-headed or foolish moments in your own past. On that level, it may succeed only too well.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
A credible portrait of alienation.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
Loc (Pierre Chatagny) is not only stupid, he's dull and uninteresting, as well as uninterested in the world around him.
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
Candor elevates the material from simply being a series of X-rated exploits to a far more insightful story about how the path to manhood is paved with selfish mistakes, some far more regrettable than others.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Loic's journey is rich in incident and detail, and Garon Stupide retains its dynamic momentum throughout.
Houston Chronicle
Joey Guerra
Tender moments of grace and a mutual respect between the filmmaker and his subject shine through.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Garon Stupide is an intriguing examination of alienation and dysfunction, tonally haunting rather than melodramatic.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Swiss director Lionel Baier's Garcon Stupide features the best gay seduction scene ever filmed on a Ferris wheel. Unfortunately, you have to sit through the entire movie to get to it.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
Garcon Stupide is a seamless blending of fiction with the biographical truths of its riveting non-professional star, Pierre Chatagny, who endows Loic with the incomparable gift of life in the process of being lived.
Chicago Tribune
Jessica Reaves
Brooding, beautiful and ultimately redemptive story of sex, more sex and -- just maybe -- love.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
The screenplay falls apart along with the characters.
Village Voice
David Ng
A better-late-than-never coming-of-age tale that is by turns earnest and corny, though never stupide.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
The feature debut of Swiss director Lionel Baier puts a queer twist on the Mulveynian concept of cinema's 'male gaze.'
