An interesting film

This is the kind of movie that grows on you. I wasn't too sure of how I felt about this movie after just having watched it, but as I later reflected on the film, I found myself looking forward to the opportunity of when I could see it again. It appears to be ladened with overtones, so a second watch is probably a good idea anyway. I particularly liked Sebastien Huberdeau's performance, and look forward to seeing him again in future films. All the characters are rather intriguing, and it was great seeing Patsy Gallant, especially hearing that wonderful voice of hers. The director's subtle presentation of incest and other abnormal forms of sexuality also deserves a mention, along with the out-of-the-ordinary ending that will surely please viewers looking for an out-of-the-ordinary film.
