Audience Member Celebrating 100 years of the Montreal Canadians, Pour Toujours Les Canadiens is a fine tribute to the legendary Hockey franchise. Here we have a good story surrou8nding the team, and for what the filmmakers have assembled here, it's a surprising treat for fans of the team or Hockey in general. Being born near Montreal, I very much enjoyed the film, and of course being a Quebecois, I always loved the team. The history of the team is interwoven in the main plot, and the story has a good dose of drama that is engaging from start to finish. However, it's not a perfect film; but overall, it's a satisfying affair that is well worth seeing if you love the Habs. The story is very thought out considering the filmmakers were able to add the history of the team. I thought that the film was very good, and it was also a fine tribute to the history of the team. The cast do a fine job here as well, and there are some fine performances here. The team itself makes an appearance on camera, which is of course the highlight of the film. Along with that, it's an engaging picture, one that definitely should be seen by fans of the sport. The film has its flaws, but it's a film that manages to work around its shortcomings to really make it a worthwhile viewing, as well as a celebration of 100 years of Montreal Canadians. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member J'ai beaucoup de problèmes avec ce film, mais en même temps ça me fait bien rire. Premièrement, l'approche documentaire aurait été plaisante à voir mais on se rend vite compte que le personnage documentariste suit plus ou moins la partie (excepté au moment où il enregistre le souhait murmuré de l'enfant malade dans l'oreille de Koivu). L'apparition de quelques vedettes du sport est bienvenue mais il devient bizarre de voir Jean Béliveau apparaître dans le banc des joueurs d'une ligue mineure. Également, il y a une tendance à mettre des effets spéciaux là où il n'y en a pas de besoin. Le film est parodiable à souhait. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Ca aurait du etre un documentaire...Puis je mexcuse mais Céline Bonnier dans ce role la...WARK ! bah en fait, le role, WARK !
