Drama Jacques is a writer living in Paris. He hasn’t turned 40 but already mistrusts that the best in life is yet to come. Arthur is a student living in Brittany. He reads and smiles a lot and refuses to think that everything in life might not be possible. Jacques and Arthur will like each other. Just like in a lovely dream. Just like in a sad story.

	Media	Author	Review
		Eric Kohn IndieWire	"The most emotional and understated work from French director Christophe Honoré is a touching tribute to the art and culture of early ‘90s France"
		Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"Vibrant and moving (...) Both leads give luminous, deeply nuanced performances (...) The film is fleet-footed and good-humored"
		Peter Debruge Variety	"A deeply personal queer romance that combines [Honoré's] best qualities as a filmmaker"
		Glenn Kenny The New York Times	"It took a while for this digressive movie to get its hooks in me, but once it did, 'Sorry Angel' didn’t let go."
		Lawrence Garcia AV Club	"'Sorry Angel' doesn’t always make you feel the weight of its presence—but as any good romance should, it makes you feel the sting of its absence."
		Fionnuala Halligan Screendaily	"'Sorry Angel' marches to Honore’s rhythms, which may come across as somewhat freeform, but they’re also uncompromising (...) Sequences are stretched out to the point where even the dramatic eventually becomes banal"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It is often poignant and humorous but also placid and complacent, with performances bordering on the self-regarding and even faintly insufferable (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Robbie Collin Telegraph	"A lovely, bittersweet gay romance (...) [It has] some thrillingly innovative cuts which mingle the imagined with the real (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
