Film W @EcouteFilmes Dec 9 This movie is meant to be watched by those who see themselves reflected, elated by the prospect of Canadian representation outside pleasanteries and clean streets. Or maybe it's meant to be watched by Americans, elated by the prospect of recognizing references like Sidney Crosby and a loonie. What is up with those accents though. And why can't Theresa speak french properly? It feels more like someone just tried to smash Canadian onto American, and make that make sense. Paul Rudd's dead tooth is accurate, half a star just for that.

This movie was done very well with great character development and a touching mission for two lost men. See more Michael K 12/31/2023 All is Bright is a wonderful little movie. It is also not a comedy like Deck the Halls or Bad Santa, as some have mentioned and as it seems to have been advertised. Its more like "Christmas a la John Sayles." With this misconception out of the way, people can enjoy it for what it is : a well done story with very good writing and acting. The gritty atmosphere (a shady corner in New York) and tone are stark contrast to what one expects from a Christmas movie, and it makes it hard to guess how the two will handle their misfortunes as they come. The soundtrack's jazz piano interpretations of carols was perfect and the ending a satisfying surprise. This is one to put on when you've exhausted your supply of required seasonal viewing and want something fresh. See more Michaël M 12/01/2023 I am a French Canadian, but I prefer to call myself 'Quebecois.' Honestly, that movie is quite off and boring. The Quebec accent is absent, and people with a French accent are speaking in the French from France style. See more 02/03/2021 All is bright is a quirky little dark comedy. The performances from Paul Rudd and Paul Giamatti are good and the movie has some good dialogue and laughs. It’s not the heist film that you think it is except more of a character study. It can be a little slow moving at times but overall it’s a fun little quirky watch. See more Read all reviews
