As You Are

"First-time writer-director Miles Joris-Peyrafitte's plotting could be more muscular, but the film shades its confused tangle of friendship, love and desire with atmosphere, intimacy and a lingering sense of outsider yearning." 

"A promising and impressively self-assured debut for 23-year-old filmmaker Miles Joris-Peyrafitte, 'As You Are' is crafted with the confidence and skill of a veteran, but also the youthful eye of someone not far removed from his protagonists." 

"Joris-Peyrafitte shows confidence and talent beyond his years, with an artful eye for imagery and a truthful ear for dialogue (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"The director (...) is in some respects very resourceful (...) Much of the movie (...) is labored." 

"This lyrical and ethereal film mixes the stark style of a crime story into a love story, capturing the highs, lows and the deepest, darkest recesses of grungy, stoned teenage life"
