You will be touched
4 April 2021
Great story by great actors. The acting is incredible, the directors did a very good job with those kids. It's not melodramatic, it's life.

This series made us realize how lucky we can be and not everyone has that chance. A must see.

4 hours too long...
21 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Where should I start? I don't know where, and neither does that movie. It's like a chocolate cake, the cake is the story, the effects are the frosting. There is one inch of cake and 10 inches of frosting. Sorry by the effects are supposed to support the story not the opposite. Takes 3 hours to Superman to appear. All those scene showing the heroes, their drama, are so long.... then you go for action, and more explosions and more... The dialog parts must hold on 2 pages. A kid would probably enjoy it for 30 minutes and then get bored. It's not a movie, it's someone filming a videogame he's playing, and you call that art? Sorry, I was raised on superheroes, but in my book they have a quest, a meaning, a purpose, not here.

Arcand is back on track.
28 June 2018
The last Arcand's movie "Le règle de la beauté" (An Eye for Beauty) was a big disappointment from the man who gave us Decline of the American Empire, The Barbarian Invasions who won an Oscar, and Jesus of Montreal. In the first 5 minutes of the opening, you can feel that this will be good. Arcand is at his best when he has those witty dialogues. Sarcastic, just like he was in his best movies. The best guess of Arcand was to use Maripier Morin, whose is not an actress but a girl who started in reality TV shows. Well, she's good. With the right director and some talent, you can be good. She plays a high-class hooker, not in the typical way we usually see that role, but for her first major role, it's impressing. Alexandre Landry, the guy who ends up with the stollen money is a very good actor, hope we'd see him more often. The love interest between those two could be more convincing, this is the only problem with that script, hard to understand why she'd fall for him. Would have needed a few extra scenes to make it more believable. If you like Arcand's dialogue and criticism of the American Society, you will smile for 2 hours.
