L' Art de l'autodéfense

...a dark comedy that’s equal parts amusing and disturbing.

This is a movie that is funniest when it isn’t trying to be funny at all.

...Eisenbergs deadpan–levering af sin dialog og usikre mani [er] en sand fornøjelse.

...the perfectly cast Eisenberg is the movie's key; he fits this role like a comfortable karate gi, fearlessly embracing an inner weakness and making it all the more satisfying when confidence comes shining through.
