Audience Member If you like opera, great food, love stories and all things Canadiana you are in heaven with this movie. If you want to see the film that opened the TIFF festival the "Festival of Festivals" at the time, in 1991 this is a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Fabulously funny. A hidden Canadian gem that has been forgotten but ought to be lauded as one of our finest bits of comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member A perfectly DELIGHTFUL, quirky comedy! Merges deadpan comedy with images of the bleak side of working-class Canada, and with (very naturally and very incidentally, albeit briefly) extremely casual treatment of issues of fluid gender identification. Positively bizarre and even approaching surreal, but always coming back to something concrete. Robbie Coltrane gives a spectacular performance. A true gem. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member wonderfully quirky and in T.O. too....so look for the landmarks. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
