Sorry Angel deserves to find an international audience, not least because the whole thing is just so drippingly French, all breezy beauty and smoke-wreathed, bookish wit.May 11, 2018
The result is not a great filmic conquest, but it is an honest, courageous and sincere film. [Full review in Spanish]May 11, 2018
Christophe Honoré makes a controlled film, with sporadic brilliant moments, but also with a style that wants to proclaim himself heir to the old French tradition. [Full review in Spanish]May 23, 2018
Honoré's vision is less propelled by political agitation than by the personal negotiations of queer existence that ripple across its multi-generational cast.May 12, 2018
Sorry Angel has all the restless energy of 120 BPM, even if it is considerably more aimless.May 10, 2018
Represents yet another major stride in the treatment of gay relationships on-screen.May 12, 2018
It's often considered a bad thing for a film to come across as novelistic, as if that meant that it weren't cinematic, but Sorry Angel is certainly that, and deeply involving on every level.May 15, 2018
The lines have a consistently witty, acerbic sting; the voices we hear belong to men who are at once entirely comfortable in their skin and yet unafraid to discover new things about themselves.May 09, 2018
"Life is dumber than films," Jacques says, and Sorry Angel represents Honoré's own sturdy effort to improve that equation.May 09, 2018
Vibrant and moving.May 12, 2018
The film has some lovely beats, and good chemistry between its leads.May 14, 2018
This uneasy stylistic blend lends a disjointed quality to the film that prevents it from fully coming alive as we lurch from incident to incident.
