Alex Heeney Seventh Row Nov 25
Light on its feet like Falardeau’s best films, Lovely Day gently navigates the echoing trauma of immigration, the challenges of managing a broken family, and how wedding days are as much about the people around you as [the marriage]. Go to Full Review Tomas Trussow The Lonely Film Critic Oct 21
3/5
It’s a light, breezy, sweet, frequently entertaining affair with a distinct Quebecois flavour and a charmingly game cast, with all the main characters getting at least one opportunity to steal a scene. Go to Full Review Ruben Peralta Rigaud Cocalecas Sep 19
In that tension between celebration and collapse, between music that promises harmony and the mind that insists on chaos, Lovely Day stands as one of the most honest and moving looks at anxiety in recent cinema. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro Sep 9

And as the past sends us off into the future, Lovely Day is a reminder to never shy away from either end of the timeline, and instead embrace it all. Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? Sep 7
8/10
The comedy from this never-ending series of absurd pratfalls makes Lovely Day an enjoyable experience, but learning about and reconciling with the bottled-up anger within Alain renders it so memorable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
