None of this would work without Duris' simmering performance as Tom, a person who's struggling to find his true calling.

From its plot to its look, The Beat That My Heart Skipped is designed to express how it feels to be torn between two opposing worlds and passions.
Noel Murray, AV Club

Audiard has a nice stride here, establishing Tom's world and then altering it with slow insistence.
Tom Long, Detroit News

Audiard has wisely avoided the crime-movie cliches of Toback's Fingers, and if his film is not exactly naturalistic, it is steeped in a reality that makes it all the more compelling.
