Audience Member Pas le meilleur film de Sébastien Rose... Un drame tout de même bien ficelé, mais souvent en surface... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting bit of social commentary on a subject that is rarely dramatized so well, school shootings. The numerous plot lines and characters are handled well and the ending certainly gets its point across. Never holding back on the violence, Le Banquet is certainly not for the faint of heart. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Film au scenario etrange qui va dans tous les sens pour finalement converger en un sens commun... qui ne fait malheureusement que si peux de sens :( Psychologie des personnages assez bien developpe en general, mais dans un but douteux la plupart du temps. Suggestion: regarder Polytechnique au lieu du Banquet qui est impeccable et drolement plus frappant. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Very slow start to the film but a really telling story. This film looks at the problems of high tuition fees in our Canadian universities and the fact that many universities are allowing anyone to enter regardless of their academic background in a attempt to cash in on those who drop out early. The story shows students who take matters into their own hands and fight the universities through striking and protesting due to high tuition fees and finally the sad conclusion brought forth by one student who felt the university had ripped him off. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent du début à la fin!!! On se pose des questions tout au long et après le film Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Troublante adaptation d'une réalité d'aujourd'hui; violence excessive dans les écoles, problèmes visibles entre les élèves et les enseignants... McGinnis et Martin géniaux.... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
