Reviews
- "A sensitively staged love and emancipation drama with an ambiguous main character, whose contradictions and insecurities are excellently portrayed. With the courage to leave narrative gaps, the film revolves around the meaning of intimacy and interpersonal closeness."
- "In what is certain to be considered one of the year’s most audacious debuts, Maxime Rappaz immediately establishes himself as a bright young talent with the release of Let Me Go (Laissez-Moi). Quiet, meditative and powerful, Let Me Go is a fascinating examination of the human condition...."
- "Jeanne Balibar masterfully conveys these ambivalent aspects, these contradictions which burn inside of her...."
