Positif: "The power of its subject, the singularity of the approach, and the actors' conviction are what make this Heatwave a highly commendable film."

Première: "Rather than the resolution of an investigation, Jacoulot is interested in the patient observation of the rise in intolerance amongst apparently respectable people."

Le Monde: "Karim Leklou powerfully embodies the film's lead character, moving and troubling at the same time."
