02/20/2014 Quand même très poétique, mais j'ai moins apprécié que Babine. See more 07/08/2013 La fin est un peu "pitché", mais l'esprit/l'univers du film est magique. J'adore les dialogues. Bravo Fred Pellerin. See more 05/18/2013 When i saw the trailer i was hoping for a nice movie but instead i find a long and slow flick with almost no content and the ending sucks. See more 04/06/2013 Wow what a movie. Mixing myth, hard reality, and comedy, and doing it in an inspiring way. I'm surprised there is no activity here reviewing this movie, but c'est la vie, non? The central characters are richly developed and the story compelling. The setting may be representative but could be anywhere at anytime. Look for the self-referential joke about two-thirds the way through. Very funny and heartwarming. NB What Edgar Chaput does not seem to understand, in his insistence that myth somehow match reality more closely is that: this is a myth, with outrageous elements bent by time and retelling. I think those elements are delightful and speak to the grandiose imaginations of the writer and presumably the originators of the myth who are personified by the garage owner character who announces the checker match in the style of a title fight with such flamboyance. See more 01/22/2013 Pas un mauvais film, mais trop de détails soulignés au marqueur rouge, comme si on était un peu stupide... Les contes de Pellerin n'ont pas besoin d'être mis en film!
