Audience Member Very bland and dull documentary. I rarely have found one I didn't like, but this was horrible. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member très décevant pour Forcier, qui nous avait habitué à plus. Quand même quelques passages sympathiques, mais sans plus... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Wash, c'est vraiment, vraiment poche ! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Poétique, théâtrale et très orgiginal dans son traitement. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member J'ai adoré. Toutefois je ne suis pas sûr d'avoir découvert la moitié de ce que André Forcier voulait partager. Un unvers particulier. Un humour subtile. J'ai trouver le film drôle à la quatrième écoute. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
