Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Missing Victor Pellerin is an enigmatic and utterly compelling story of incinerated art, unbridled egos and exotic plants. Rated: 4/5 May 2, 2007 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post In 1990, a successful Quebec artist, Victor Pellerin, burned every last one of his paintings, then vanished. Fifteen years later, a clever young woman named Sophie Deraspe decided to make a documentary about this strange occurrence. Rated: 3/4 May 2, 2007 Full Review Charles Petersen Village Voice An uncanny, uncategorizable film, neither doc- nor mockumentary, Sophie Deraspe's debut feature shares more in common with Nabokov and Borges than recent fake-docs. May 1, 2007 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Deraspe's film begins as a mystery and becomes a razor-sharp dissection of the self-promotion, pretension and deeply cynical inner workings of the art world. Rated: 3/4 May 4, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Generally unmemorable. Perhaps I am too biased against films of subject matters that I know little about. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting idea for a film. I didn't find it all that engaging but tried to give the film a chance. The film didn't flow very smoothly and I found that I got lost with all the characters. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member C'est l'un des trucs les plus étrange que j'ai jamais vu ! Je ne sais pas encore quoi en penser, tant cela m'a déstabilisé et dérouté... Comment distinguer le vrai du faux ? Qu'est-ce qu'il faut comprendre de ce film ? Je me pose encore beaucoup de questions face à cet OVNI cinématographique... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent film qui sait garder notre intérêt. (en bonus on peut m'apercevoir pour environ une minute! ;-) Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Pour amateur d'art et d'arnaque... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Got to watch this gem on the plane ride home. A fascinating cast of weirdos hash up the good 'ole days when they got to share some time with someone truly brilliant. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
