The Search for Truth

[filmfancy · 7/10 · 12 December 2018]

Excellent work by Camille Mongeau as a young woman who leaves her hometown to search for her birth mother whom she believes is living up north. She checks into a youth hostel near where she believes the woman is living. They soon meet as it's a small town.

The film takes its time, following the lead character Chloe as she grapples with revealing herself to the woman she believes is her mother. The setting is beautiful, complete with a winter vista. We get a good feel of the place and its locals.

The last part of the film is the strongest, with the two women finally having a serious and heartfelt conversation. Isabelle Blais is excellent as the older woman, outwardly strong but inwardly vulnerable. The ending was rather abrupt and unsentimental, leaving one wanting more.

Extremely boring long and crying and waiting

Like 99% of the movies that come out of Quebec, this movie is no exception. The slow pace is like a golden rule for them they revel in the slowness of pace. They search for profoundness, even when it's a kid movie of teen movie or comedy etc etc, any movie that come out of Quebec is not plagued by profoundness, and slow pace. Often they will put music, that will take whe whole moment, and then you have to wait for it to end, sometimes it can take the whole song before it end, and while it's playing you have to endure images of "profound" things, they wish to put a burden on our head, that would "add" to the movie, but they are wrong, this is making people sleep.

Quebec film makers are really bad in the recent years. *Not only film makers but also "series" makers, they give us cheap soap opera dialogues and try to pass it to the audience as "series" Incredible!

loved it!
