French cinema at it's worst.

I have problems believing this film was even financed.

I had free tickets for this "avant-premiere" screening AND STILL THINK I OVERPAID!

Except for watching some "tecchnical" aspects of the film (long takes without cuts following certain characters and moving to follow another character) this film is a total waste of your time (and if you pay anything, A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY)!

Spend your time and money somewhere else - ANYWHERE ELSE!

1/10

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
