REVIEWS

This beautiful film explores the variable risks and shifting boundaries of freedom of speech. Through strong characters, it offers a rare geopolitical vision. Quite captivating. Arnaud Schwartz - La Croix

All the drawings show impertinence and a healthy rage. A common and free language. Cécile Mury - Télérama

Simple but essential, this documentary-gives voice to 12 lunatics, wonderful , funny and tragic" (...) Regardless of the country, these troublemakers disturb. Their weapons? Humor and irony against abuse, self-righteousness, and all the powerful people. Danielle Attali - Le Journal du Dimanche

"Cartoonists" produced by Romanian director Radu Milheanu (Live and Become, The Concert), is a fascinating and well constructed documentary. It presents the daily lives of these news artists, who work without bulletproof vests, integrates archival images and, of course, shows many examples of their daily production. Pierre Vavasseur - Le Parisien
