Jessica Kiang The Playlist 02/17/2015
B
Observing a finely-wrought filigree of despair, "Chorus" is remarkably effective at making you feel something you already know to be true. Go to Full Review
Justine Smith Vague Visages 11/21/2023
As their loss has become a defining point of their identity, so does their isolation. They may still be capable of love, but love no longer has the power to sustain their survival. Go to Full Review
Ed Frankl CineVue 04/04/2019
4/5
A festering beauty of a film slowly reveals itself in this bleak but uplifting black-and-white study of grief from Quebeçois director François Delisle, an acutely aware portrait of a relationship after the unimaginable. Go to Full Review
John Esther UR Chicago Magazine 07/18/2015
A gritty, emotionally honest (and draining) film about coming to grips with the horrors life can throw at you at any given moment. Go to Full Review
T'Cha Dunlevy Montreal Gazette 03/06/2015
3.5/5
It's a delicate balance. The mood is heavy and could easily tip to the side of melodrama, but Delisle keeps his cool by keeping emotional breakdowns to a minimum. Go to Full Review

3.5/4
It's a long, dark road to that catharsis, but it's worth the journey to get there. I won't easily forget "Chorus" - its currents run too deep. Go to Full Review

01/10/2017 Profond tout en étant visuellement magnifique, on a la chance de voir bien des facettes de Sébastien Picard et de Fanny Malette qui sont meilleurs dans le silence et les non-dits que n'importe quel remplissage inutile de dialogues. Quelques scènes perutantes, arrache-coeur sans tomber dans l'anéantissement pour autant. See more 03/17/2016 Cruel, disturbing, but beautiful. Near the end I was beginning to feel something good: unfortunately the choice of music on the ending, some contemporary electronic stuff with a terrible singer singing in his throat mostly out of tuen, was so terrible that I wanted to leave the theater: and I was not the only one, the comments on this music came from many. It is a pity, that the thing I remember best of this movie is this horrible noise, really a pity, because the film deserves much, much more. I really wanted to give 5 stars here, but the more I think to that noise, the less I want to give: so better if I stop here. See more 01/26/2016 Smooth directing, a good attempt at screening a couple's life after their son's death See more 07/14/2015 Il y a de ce cinéma à la fois tendre dans le traitement et dur dans le sujet. François Delisle navigue dans ces eaux. Le cinéaste ne fait rien comme les autres et c'est tant mieux. See more 01/30/2015 Fuck, I was too tired. Could tell it was something special, though. And goddamn was it visually (and tonally) beautiful. See more Read all reviews
