This is the best comedy I've seen since Burn After Reading or Death At A Funeral. It's terrific.

Reviews for Louise-Michel
These two losers are so uncharming, so witless, so unfunny that I really found this film about them an arduous experience.
Often crass and never politically correct, Louise-Michel ultimately fails to reach its potential.
As stylists, Kervern and Delepine specialise in turning industrial landscapes into cartoon playgrounds, through sight gags that rely on offscreen space -- leaving crucial events to the imagination.
Complete with an absurdist black humour and a bizarre collection of farcical set pieces, Louise-Michel is a hit and miss affair.
I love good black comedy, but I really didn't get this one. Perhaps it whizzed over my head like some of those bullets.
In its funniest moments, the film displays the delicate timing of the best silent comedies.
Anarchic craziness makes the revolutionary message go down smoothly in Louise-Michel.
