Rating: 1/4 --
It's a preening piece of work, aiming to flatter and please, while masquerading as something hard-hitting and daring. And because of all that, it's a bore.

San Francisco Chronicle
Bercot's best irony is the film's fleet, incisive style - not docudrama but emotional precision in the composition, editing, and perfectly pitched humane performances (including Catherine Deneuve and Benoit Magimel at their compassionate best).

National Review
Rating: 3/4 --
Standing Tall shows the misery and pain of youngsters in rebellion against the social construct that made them that way, as well as the frustration of the public servants who work overtime to give them hope.

Observer
Rating: 2.5/4 --
This drama of how a "little monster" struggles to find a place within society has a few strong scenes, and a hint of potential stardom for Paradot, whose character Malony rages for humanity as well as himself.

Toronto Star
As French-language films about efforts to rehabilitate violent yet hunky blonde juvenile delinquents go, Emmanuelle Bercot's muddled Standing Tall is at least less irritating and fetishistic than Xavier Dolan's Mommy.

SF Weekly
Standing Tall makes up for its use of clichés by way of strong direction, well honed performances, and a sense of dramatic depth.

The Gate
Standing Tall never even attempts a nuanced exploration of the difficulties of navigating life without a real parent and how it robs you of privileges that are for many children commonplace.
