The latest from director Michel Gondry (ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND) features Audrey Tautou (AMELIE) in a whimsical tale of teenage outcasts on a road trip across France. "A cross between François Truffaut's sometimes-harrowing dramas about childhood and a Steven Spielberg fantasy, Gondry's film abounds with sentiment - without falling prey to sentimentality." - Philadelphia Inquirer
"Gondry brings a sense of heartfelt nostalgia, pathos and humor to this portrait of a short, unique adolescent moment." - Los Angeles Times
"Buoyed by a script brimming with authentic back-and-forth ribbing and confessional exchanges, newcomers Baquet and Dargent exhibit an alternately ribald and frank rapport that, like the film itself, taps into the volatile anxiety of finding one’s self." - The Playlist
"The laughs are sometimes bigger than expected, and so are the emotions stirred by the bittersweet finale." - Seattle Times
"Not everyone is going to get its idiosyncratic charms, but that’s OK because it’s awesome just the way it is." - The Guardian
Microbe, a shy, aspiring artist, has trouble making friends at school until he meets Gasoline, a likeminded outcast. Together they hatch a plan to build a car and spend their summer on an epic road trip across France. Rated R. 105 mins.
