Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) 06/15/2024
However, although [Denys Arcand] may be right in some of his statements, all combined and without a single nuance, they reveal him less as a wise old man than as a vulgar reactionary. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Chris Knight Original Cin 11/10/2023

A heartfelt drama about longing and regret - and a raised “médius” (middle finger) by Denys Arcand to this century’s increasingly stringent, strident notions of political correctness. Go to Full Review Andrew Parker The Gate 11/10/2023
4/10
It’s like having a two hour debate with someone well spoken and intelligent who sometimes runs into a wall, shrugs, and says, “well, that’s just your opinion.” It’s an ornery, dyspeptic work that also wants to play nice, and that never works. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ricardo L 07/20/2024 Filme maravilhoso. Vale muito a pena ver. Nos leva a pensar no mundo de hoje que temos cada vez menos tolerância. Muita gente jovem perdida sem pensar. Gostei muito. A parte do pintor observando a obra de arte é sensacional. See more Tim A 02/19/2024 I thought it was a great film. Just the right balance of satire, dark humour and feelgood. Many aspects focus on Quebec idiosyncrasies that might not be as relevant to those not aware of the province of Quebec's culture, geography or history. See more Francois B 10/18/2023 Bon film de Arcand. Ne vous fiez pas aux critiques! See more Nathalie C 10/18/2023 Another great Arcand film. Quebec culture expressed with the wink and culture for which he is famous. Bravo, this is indeed a testament film. Thank you See more Ana A 10/07/2023 Denys Arcand does it again with this gentle but moving story which develops into a wi fearful commentary on cancel culture and the foibles of mankind . All with humour and poignancy. Thumbs up! See more Read all reviews
