Audience Member Great film. Nice film editing. Inventive script. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Bah. C'était pas mal un ramassis des mêmes thèmes exploités dans La face cachée de la lune. Bien content de ne pas les avoir écouté dans le sens inverse. En fait, la réalisation est quand même intéressante, mais assez confuse, et on ne s'y attache pas autant que dans le dernier opus de Robert Lepage. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Un chef-d'oeuvre québécois !! Le confessional est un bijoux en matière de langage cinématographique. Les changement de scène sont tout simplement magistrale. Certain peuvent être perdu en écoutant ce film, mais on comprend bien l'essence du film. Un film qui se déroule dans les années 50 et il y a certains moment que l'histoire ce déroule dans les 80. Alfred Hithcock fait parti du film également. UN très bon film que je me suis acheté, mais il vous faut une petite base de cinéma pour comprendre et apprécier l'intégrale du film. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member The style of this film more than makes up for the melodramatic plottiness of the whole thing. The brooding and caluculated shots do reveal a deep psychology prevalent to the themes and characters of the movie and the layering of storylines give it a complexity that make the film one of the best Canadian films of all time that could have been hackneyed if handled differently. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful and moving film!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Yet another of those angsty Quebecois movies about trying to reconcile the past with the present and finding a national identity. This one, at least, has the decency to be really clever about it. Great camera work, too, and I love the little Hitchcock subplot. The segues between past and present are quite clever: you understand "Okay, now it's the '50s again" even though they never really spell it out for you.
