Oscar-winning director Denys Arcand's latest film surpassed $1.5M at the Canadian box office.
  • "Luminous scenes, full of poetry, that remind us why Arcand is a monument of Quebec cinema.”
    La Presse
  • "Solid cast, lively, rhythmic staging and punchy lines."
    Le Devoir
  • "Rémy Girard gives an impeccable performance as a baby boomer who has lost his bearings and is out of step with the times.”
    Le Journal de Montréal
  • "Carried by the voice of Rémy Girard, whose nuanced performance is immediately appealing, this crepuscular film benefits from Arcand's fluidly elegant direction and Claudine Sauvé's warm lighting."
    La Presse
  • "The film takes a humorous look at current issues such as political correctness, anti-colonialism and questions of identity."
    Radio-Canada
  • "Arcand's erudite writing is not devoid of sensitivity, particularly in his depiction of troubled family relationships, the loneliness of elders or their lack of affection."
