Review For North Sea Texas |
It's a story that's been told countless times, but first-time director Bavo Defurne has such an assured hand and visual flair (much credit also belongs to cinematographer Anton Mertens) that everything seems fresh and new. David Lewis-San Francisco Chronicle
"North Sea Texas" explores emergent sexuality and first love with a refreshing optimism. Robert Abele-Los Angeles Times
A simmering drama powered by fully drawn characters and fine performances. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
A soulful, slightly hyperreal comedy ... Chris Packham-Village Voice
A reasonably realistic slice of lower-middle-class European life with a repressed protagonist named Pim. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Splendidly acted, especially by Florizoone, whose every thought appears to register on his wide-open features, it's more than promising. John Hartl-Seattle Times
A small but quite lovely and wonderful film, gorgeous to look at, which tackles an age-old subject with radiant freshness. David Noh-Film Journal International
In the annals of gay cinema about growing up, "North Sea Texas" is, regrettably, an unoriginal and rather disposable take on a subject that's been done much better in the past. Dustin Putman-DustinPutman.com
Once the visual touches fade away ... there's nothing to stop the parade of clichés. David Fear-Time Out New York
The film succeeds in creating a dense atmospheric feel and avoids generic tropes, but it does so somewhat at the neglect of its characters and narrative. Caroline McKenzie-Slant Magazine
As competent as the acting is, it's the filmmaking that brings this coming-of-age saga into the realm of brilliantly crafted cinema. S. James Wegg-JWR
Any sympathy for these characters and their lives dissipates quickly on reaching scenes filled with cliched symbolism, like the burning of treasured possessions on a beach and running into the sea in an emotional outburst Gail Tolley-The List
Beautifully directed, emotionally engaging coming-of-age drama with a sharp script, a strong sense of time and place and terrific performances from its entire cast. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon
An understated film, strong on mood, a bit reminiscent of Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey. Philip French-Observer [UK]
A delicate little heartwarmer of a film. Allan Hunter-Daily Express
North Sea Texas looks beautiful, is acted brilliantly, but it's hard to get a hold on when Pim's drifting by in a dream world. Henry Barnes-Guardian [UK]
Complicated nicely by the unrequited crush of Vergels' sister on their friend, it's a film of supple visual flair and delicately acted appeal: Florizoone in particular is the bee's knees. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
Brilliant, affecting filmmaking. A beautiful love story. Laura Bushell-Little White Lies
Family life and adult power are central here, allowing for bittersweet engagement with emotions over time and the compromises of living in reality. Ben Walters-Time Out
