Critics' reviews

"A kinetic delight, Reprise comes from director Joachim Trier, born in Denmark but raised in Oslo, Norway, and it’s a highlight of the filmgoing year so far."

Michael Phillips: Chicago Tribune
"The mood of joy in the midst of youthful pain is enhanced by the freshness of the first-time lead actors."

Lisa Schwarzbaum: Entertainment Weekly
"With its almost stream-of-consciousness style, Reprise offers a fresh and compelling look at the vagaries of friendship and creativity."

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"Reprise is exceptionally smart about the crushing expectations brought to the table by those who love us."

Ty Burr: Boston Globe
"The feature debut of young Norwegian director Joachim Trier, is as crisp and cool as a swig of Champagne."

Dana Stevens: Slate
"A rich and touching exploration of the vagaries of fortune, literary reputation and, above all, friendship that works on several levels at once. The soundtrack includes songs by Joy Division, New Order and Le Tigre"

Ken Fox: TV Guide
"Reprise has a smart and knowing script and will compel audiences to reflect on themselves at that age."

Ruthe Stein: SFgate
"Its playful approach to chronology and voice-over narration serves to amplify its themes instead of coming off as a show-off trick."

Rene Rodriguez: Miami Herald
