Whatever you think of it, you won't be neutral.
John Hartl, Seattle Times

Bluntly edited, with no hand-holding transitional scenes, the film is an intimate portrait of an idealistic, understaffed, sometimes wrongheaded team battling youth prostitution, thievery rings and adult predators from every class of society.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Polisse" draws us uncomfortably close to a taboo subject then rewards us with real nourishment.
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Has an infectious energy and aims for a bottom-up, slice-of-life air characterised by naturalistic performances and a fly-on-the-wall shooting style.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out
