Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Brian K On the surface, this is a fairly typically Canadian film: small and slow and located in Quebec cottage country during the summertime. However, this film is special, slowly capturing an building friendship and intimacy between a 16 year-old girl and a 13 year-old boy; sexual intimacy is secondary, as more powerful drives of self-discovery, wanting to find acceptance and love in the often intense social world of early teens. The perspective is particularly Quebecoise, but mostly universally Canadian (and North American, more generally) of short summers in cottage/lake country. The director might have erred too much on the brooding and ominous aspects of the lake and woods, but this film is otherwise very well written, filmed, and acted. In some ways this film is the Quebecois version of the similarly great Ontario-Canadian summer teen cottage movie, Sleeping Giant, but with a subtle but important supernatural element. Well worth seeing, and the subtitles are not cumbersome, as the dialogue is mostly light and slow. The ending is a surprise, and a bit of a downer, but works well. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Catherine L I was very disappointed and bored by this movie, the teenagers were irritating and the scenario opaque. Couldn't really get the horror story, and the ending is a bit cliché. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review R.C. C Rarely do you find a movie that makes you feel the complete freedom you felt just before adulthood. What a Masterpiece! Exquisite. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Anthony P Good movie to watch on a Friday night. Somewhat spooky but it is actually a coming-of-age flick that entertains. Great acting by the two young leads. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Movie R This movie had absolutely nothing to do with Stephan Michalak's 1967 encounter.

      Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org Charlotte Le Bon’s feature film debut Falcon Lake is an immersive, poetic deep dive into that strange, hazy time between childhood and adolescence Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Christy Lemire FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I'm not sure the ending really works, but I like that [Charlotte Le Bon] has made this movie. Jun 6, 2023 Full Review Christian Zilko indieWire It becomes clear that we’re watching the best moments of a story that’s destined to end badly. Yet we keep watching, due in large part to the deeply human performances from Engel and Montpetit. Rated: A- Jun 5, 2023 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) This haunting coming-of-age film uses horror tropes to slowly unsettle the audience, building towards an ending that left me a bit shaken. Feb 13, 2024 Full Review Trevor Johnston Radio Times A knowing horror atmosphere brings freshness to an otherwise familiar rites-of-passage story, and the undertow of unease pays off in a multilayered finale Rated: 4/5 Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Santiago Alverú Cinemanía (Spain) A script replete with familiar places, common to other film.
