"Although the ominous racial antagonism is all over the place, Dumont doesn't stoop to violent provocation when the chips are down, and afterwards, he invokes a ghost of surrealism in the wake of Freddy's foul play, if the message is ambivalent, or even elusive (what is the redemption for Freddy's original sin? And the correlation between him and "Jesus" in the title isn't easy to grasp), Dumont's visual starkness and his critical if slightly snide eye on human frailty and banality can fairly put his name on the map, the sullen debutant is a sui generis auteur-in-the-making."
