...is the lead virtue and good motif for see it. because, at the first sigh, the story do not exist. a young woman levels to self discover. dialogues, plans, relations, experiences. and, in final, answers. to herself. about life, the others, forms of happiness and ways to escape from the borders of a deep crisis. all in a seductive film, seductive for the grace of Julianne Cote performance and for a sort of minimalism who is the right prize for a part of public.
I never thought i'd be watching this movie but i am pretty much happy i watched. I felt intense till the end every frame is countable. The Protagonist Nicole is vulnerable but it will give you hope. I also loved the music.
What a great undiscovered gem. This film captures the lives of the characters (especially that of Nicole) by means of quiet understated scenes that convey perfectly the accumulated stress of sleeplessness, hanging out with the somewhat random group of people we find ourselves with in our early 20s, and the integrity and struggles of the main character. This movie captures life as it is lived. It also captures the casual infliction of slights and hurts that are likely part of every life. Scenes appear at first to be randomly presented but the structure of the plot emerges and, with it, the characters start to become 3 dimensional.
I definitely expected something different than what I got from this film. On the surface, it's a simple premise, a seeming coming-of-age tale of a young woman in the brink of adulthood and her feelings about growing up. A lot of the film works in the quiet though, all of the performances are incredibly understated but very effective (even more effective than the lead actress is Marc-Andre Grondin, who really shows us the loneliness and yearning to stay a certain way). Many will not take to the film, which is understandable because it's not at all plot driven by any means. However, it's only as it goes on that you really feel like you are watching something special, most evident when the extraordinary ending comes.
