Genre: Dramas
for all its gripping excitement as a thriller, and its grim realism as a sociopolitical exposé of life inside, A Prophet is also concerned with the mysterious processes of education, assimilation and transfiguration.
The film shows Audiard to be the biggest beast in new French cinema.
A Prophet is an astonishingly detailed crime drama that could end up being this year's Gomorra, but although it's arguably more accessible.
A Prophet is a compelling, forceful drama.
'A Prophet’ is never less than believable, thoughtful and, although very uncomfortable at points, incredibly entertaining.
Audiard reaches a new level with this impeccably modulated prison drama. This is exhilarating filmmaking, a movie which instantly takes its place alongside the greats of the crime movie genre.
A smart, stylishly-directed and compulsively watchable thriller.
A Prophet works both as hard-edged, painstaking detailed social realism and as a compelling genre entertainment.
French master Jacques Audiard has challenged the thus-far mostly middling Cannes competition with a powerful prison drama that's an old-fashioned Bildungsroman in in-your-face, intensely realistic disguise.
