There's nothing new under the Canadian sun that dapples and splashes "Fake Tattoos" in light and color, just like there's nothing new about attractive young people falling in love. Doesn't mean it ever gets old.

L'histoire d'amour demeure le coeur du rcit, jusqu' ce qui est probablement la plus belle scne finale du cinma qubcois de la dernire anne.

Screen International

Working from his own script, Plante never resorts to flashbacks or overt speeches, instead allowing the viewer to piece together the lead's wounded backstory through uneasy interactions, allusions and insinuations.

The Playlist

You may see more bravura displays of filmmaking this year, but you may not see any quite as restrained, as aching, or as tender. As often as "Fake Tattoos" surprises us, so too does it move us.

Rated: B+

A great love story from Montreal's punk-metal scene. I was enjoying the fleeting young love, but that final scene was what got me tearing up.
