Audience Member J'avais tellement hate de le voir! Ce n'est un si bon film, mais c'est loin d'etre mauvais. Ca m'a fait penser a "Edward Scissorhands". A la fois grotesque et magique, drole et touchant. Au debut, c'est destabilisant d'entendre Marc-Andre Grondin avec un semblant d'accent francais, mais on s'habitue, ce n'est pas trop prononce. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot simpler than Victor Hugo's original story. Therefore more approachable, yet interesting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Though not exactly bad, this is a soulless adaptation that lacks enough emotion to make us care. It begins as an engaging story with an efficient fable-like atmosphere but soon turns into a melodrama and gives place to a second half that is mostly cheap, cheesy and artificial.
