  Loved It :-)
  
  French Canadian cinema at it's best... deep, edgy, charming, funny, and yes even uplifting. Don't miss it.

  Not normally a fan of 'foreign films' but this is fantastic
  
  The pace is just right, the characterisation perfect and you really get a sense of a young boy growing up and learning to understand who he is.

  VERY GOOD!!
  
  A really great exploration of family life across the decades. It is kind of marketed as a gay movie when it is really about family dysfunction/loyalty.
