Reception[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]

Wild Side has received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 63% based on reviews from 16 critics.[6]

Russell Edwards of Variety stated, "A morbid and self-important homosexual Jules & Jim for the new millennium",[6] "intention to shock is unmistakable" and "narrative-time shuffles only disrupt the flow".[7] V.A. Musetto of the New York Post on 10 June 2005, noted "Viewers are either going to walk out after 10 minutes or, like this tolerant critic, get caught up in the sordid lives of the three misfits and stick around for the ambiguous ending".[8] Chris reviewing for eyeforfilm.co.uk on 7 April 2008 noted it is "beautifully photographed" and has "typically unpretentious French acting".[9] Timeout states the film follows a "non-linear tapestry" and it is "a meditative tone-poem on society’s marginals".[10]

Todd W. Reeser wrote in Studies in French Cinema in 2007 about the film's complex narrative.[11]
