Why doesn't this rental company take notice of comments when they get things wrong in their listings?
An interesting story, yes, but it didn't really get into gear until about 25 minutes before the end! And throughout, the acting's so muted, it's as if the actors hadn't had time to rehearse any scene and were afraid of screwing it up for who they were playing against; or, the director just said 'this film is about someone losing their way in life, so act as if you've just come into a dark room with the lights off'. As a result, you don't really care about anyone in it, certainly not the main character, who's as wooden as they come. Finally, I don't mind subtitles, but this film has characters speaking one sentence in english, the next in french! I'm sure Montreal people are wonderfully bilingual, but I bet they don't hop between the languages like that - when speaking to different people, of course, but not in midstream with the same person.
