Roxane | Ratings & Reviews

"Based on an earlier poultry-powered short, director Mélanie Auffret’s debut feature is a film of scrambled tones with black comedy, bucolic whimsy and social-realism occasionally delivered at a cartoon-ish pace. But its ingredients make for an enjoyably cheesy soufflé, for all that."

New Zealand Listener

"At once an interesting companion piece to that fabulous recent Kiwi rural drama Bellbird and a reminder that someone really should release Morgan Spurlock's excellent US "big chicken" expose Super Size Me 2 in this country, Roxane is not fowl, nor mere poultry entertainment."
