"Cette version 2015 des "Quatre Cents Coups" de Truffaut fonctionne joliment . Sans doute parce que son récit espiègle épouse la jeunesse radieuse de ses personnages. (...) voilà qui change des discours défaitistes actuels !" - Positif
"Un "feel-good movie" au sens le meilleur du terme." - Les Inrockuptibles
