Professional reviews
Review: Kavaïté's film is well made and acted (Evening Standard, 09/10/2007)
Émilie Dequenne has the look of a young Isabella Huppert in this astonishingly assured and atmospheric first feature (Financial Times, 09/10/2007)
Émilie Dequenne is slowly but surely transforming into one of the most compelling actresses of her generation (Sight And Sound, 09/10/2007)
A sharp, tense and stealthy piece of work (The Guardian, 01/10/2007)
French cinema has found an original new voice (The Times, 01/10/2007)
Advantages: Shocking but Effective Filmwork Disadvantages: Graphic Violence
...appears to explore the outer walls through a sequence of slowly rotating, panning camera shots. The flashing blue lights of the emergency services begin to illuminate the walls further: it is at this point that we realise something terrible has occurred. A remarkably poignant start in my eyes.
Irreversible tells the story of a revenge killing as a result of the rape of Marcus' girlfriend. It runs with the tagline that Time Destroys Everything (LeTemps Détruit Tout) and needless to say, that is exactly what it has done to the characters' lives in this film.

Advantages: Length, good footage captured, great for those who were there Disadvantages: Added on commentary always annoys!
...They say you either love it or hate it. Le Mans, that is. Well I was there in June 2005, watching this race. I was also there in June 2004, and June 2003, and...... OK, OK, so I'm a Le Mans nut. 2005 was my 20th consecutive visit to Le Mans - every year since 1986. And I run my own website for my photos too.... And I moderate a sportscar website.... So, I guess I have reasonable credentials for reviewing the DVD.
The annual Le Mans highlights/review DVD was maded by Duke Marketing, a famous purveyor of motor racing (and other) videos and DVDs. They can be found at www.dukevideo.com.

Advantages: interesting insight into the career of a footballing legend Disadvantages: long and boring
...matt le tissier had a long, amazing career. he graced the shirts off many football teams including southampton and england. he was one of the most exciting strikers of his era scoring some magnificent goals. these are the highlight of the DVD and give the veiwer hour after hour of pleasure to watch. also there are words of wisdom from the man himself and an indepth look at his career and mostly his goals. i really enjoyed this DVD and it is a must see for football fans of all ages. i would not reccomend this film to people who are not interested in football. a good DVD for young players to learn from his professionalism. MATT LE TISSIER IS A FOOTBALLING LEGEND WHO HAS SCORED HUNDRRDS OF GOALS IN TOP CLASS FOOTBALL. THIS DVD CONTAINS MUST SEE FOOTAGE FROM THE HIGHS AND LOWS OF THIS TRULY UNBELIEVABLE FOOTBALLING CAREER!...
