A solitary supply teacher and a lonely young boy form an unlikely bond on a weekend motorcycle trip in France full of surprises and hidden consequences.
Variety by Dennis Harvey
Garcia, co-scenarist Jacques Fieschi and the excellent cast (including a welcome Dominique Sanda as Baptiste’s regal mother) bring a sense of depth and shared history to even those figures we meet just briefly.
The New York Times by Anita Gates
It’s a quietly compelling story.
The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer
Despite its late shortcomings, Going Away demonstrates Garcia’s ability to coax strong performances out of a relatively young cast.
The Guardian by Mike McCahill
Director Nicole Garcia strains to give this pablum social grounding, but hair and make-up overtake her.
