It's voyeuristic and kinky and maybe a little judgmental.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten

Garcon Stupide is the rare piece of European sexual realism centered completely on a boy's awakening. Young women have dominated the genre in the last 10 years, especially in France. So the film is a welcome, though inferior changeup.

Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten

Unfortunately, just when you think Garcon Stupide is going somewhere, Baier screws it up with a melodramatic climax and a political message.

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

Garcon Stupide never quite convinces us that it has a greater moral agenda beyond its graphic material.

Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten

Understanding the ins and outs of a young, detached psyche requires careful cinematic dialogue and introspection, qualities Mr. Baier can't muster in his feature debut.

Mario Tarradell, Dallas Morning News
