Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times May 2, 2007
4/5
Missing Victor Pellerin is an enigmatic and utterly compelling story of incinerated art, unbridled egos and exotic plants. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post May 2, 2007
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Charles Petersen Village Voice May 1, 2007
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. Go to Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide May 4, 2007
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jan 27, 2012 Generally unmemorable. Perhaps I am too biased against films of subject matters that I know little about. See more Nov 17, 2008 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. See more Jan 23, 2008 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... See more Nov 4, 2007 Excellent film qui sait garder notre intérêt. (en bonus on peut m'apercevoir pour environ une minute! ;-) See more Oct 9, 2007 Pour amateur d'art et d'arnaque... See more Sep 1, 2007 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. See more Read all reviews
