The easiest way to describe "My Golden Days" is as a coming-of-age romance, but Arnaud Desplechin's film, with its memories and carefully nursed grudges and moments of heartbreak and betrayal, feels weightier than that.

Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

The details - some funny, some intensely painful - of Paul and Esther's relationship over the years have a cumulative power that isn't diminished by a few loose ends.

Walter V. Addiego, San Francisco Chronicle

Desplechin draws uniformly superb performances from his young cast, making the coming-of-age genre seem fresh and vital.

Lou Lumenick, New York Post

While the ghosts of teen romances past no doubt hover over many of us, after a while you might find yourself wanting to slap Paul Dedalus across the face.

Tom Long, Detroit News

Dense, lyrical, and polymorphous.

Peter Keough, Boston Globe
