A highly credible, if rather unexceptional, look at the many insecurities and occasional joys of young love.

The sex scenes are bluntly beautiful, the boys are natural, superb actors, and you'll find yourself more than ready to embrace "Come Undone" as one of the great tales of amour.

It is heartfelt, and is full of intense feelings and insights into love.

Hopefully, even those who fail to accept the director's stylistic experiments will still appreciate the beautifully acted, disarming picture of youth and love.

If you found films like But I'm a Cheerleader or Edge of Seventeen profoundly unimaginative, Sebastien Lifshitz, making his directorial debut, has something to show you.

If you leave the theater for even a minute, you'll be lost, given the way Come Undone jumps around.

Come Undone is the coming-of-age romance French-style, with emotions nuanced, effects subtle. But it's also achingly slow, at times bleak and, in the end, frustratingly and regrettably, rather pointless.

While Come Undone has some explicit material, what makes it a mature and special work is its embrace of the knotty and unfamiliar.
11/01/01
A grey, sullen treatment of an increasingly hackneyed subject, marked by opaque characterizations and a fractured, disjointed narrative style.
10/24/01
Lifshitz has made a serious, at times quite genuine coming-out drama.
10/19/01
Deals with sex in terms of feelings, deep feelings, and with no need to reach for a cheap punch line in order to make everything 'acceptable' for audiences.
