The film had its world premiere in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival.[1]

Reception

edit

Lee Marshall of Screen Daily wrote, "This genre-bending high-school thriller-drama about three students who go missing at a French lycee opens like a teen B-movie, but soon moves into more intriguing territory."[6] Jordan Mintzer of Variety called it "a deftly realized teen thriller" that is too similar to Elephant.[7]

The film was nominated for Best First Feature Film at the 36th César Awards,[8] but lost to Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life.[9]
