When first we glimpse Magalie (Emilie Bierre) she's sitting on the bed with her back to us, a sheet drawn up across her chest, her face half turned. The ochre hues of the room tell us that it's not her own. Viewers old enough to remember the Seventies may note a resemblance to that decade's sleazy art photography. Something about the light, however, recalls the work of Johannes Vermeer, and she has the same enigmatic gaze as many of his young female subjects. Read one way, she is sullen, withdrawn; read another, she is on the brink of spitting fire.
Magalie lives in the sort of quiet little Quebecois town where nothing much ever happens, or if it does, everyone is careful to forget about it. One thing the townspeople are currently struggling to forget is the accident at the factory which claimed the life of her father. It's now up.

Emilie Bierre as Magalie in Les Nôtres
A close-knit small town community in Quebec. The shocking discovery that a 13-year-old girl is pregnant. A tide of accusations and condemnations which brings all sorts of unpleasant things to the surface. Jeanne Leblanc’s bruising new drama, Les Nôtres (aka Our Own), is hardly the first film to have addressed subject matter like this, but it’s rare in its perceptiveness about what it’s really like for a young teenager to face such struggles, and it features an astonishing central performance by Emilie Bierre. When I met Jeanne she opened our conversation by saying that she thinks a female perspective really brings something different to the mix.
“This is a three woman movie. Marianne Farley, who is playing the mom, also co-produced and Judith (Baribeau) co-wrote. And I think the first idea comes from Marianne. It came with this real story,...

It takes a village. That’s what close, tight-knit communities like Sainte-Adeline, Quebec, say when asked how they can confront and conquer tough circumstances. With that sense of togetherness, however, comes a cliquish sensibility of superiority. They survive because they have each other. They survive because they’re vigilant and always watching to see where and when their help is required to pick someone up. It’s how they got through a horrible construction-site tragedy years prior that claimed too many friends and families’ lives. They picked up the slack, opened their homes, and came out the other side. It’s also how they vindictively turned thirteen-year-old Magalie Jodoin’s (Emilie Bierre) life upside-down upon discovering she was too far along with an unplanned pregnancy to terminate.
Director Jeanne Leblanc and co-writer Judith Baribeau pull no punches in portraying the malicious underbelly of the town at the center of Les nôtres.

"What are you hiding from me?" Oscope Labs has released a new US trailer for an indie "social suspense" film titled Les Nôtres, the second feature from Quebecois filmmaker Jeanne Leblanc. The film originally premiered at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma Festival, and won Best Narrative Feature at the Santa Fe Film Festival last year. Our Own is about 13-year-old Magalie, who will have no choice but to take back the reins of her own life. Against all odds. Played by Emilie Bierre, Magalie is a popular blonde teen who's keeping a shocking secret: she's pregnant. But when she refuses to identify the real father, suspicions among the townsfolk come to a boiling point and the layers of a carefully maintained social varnish eventually crack. It "astutely unearths the racism that lurks under the surface of seemingly-woke white suburbia." Also with Marianne Farley, Judith Baribeau, and Paul Doucet. A riveting discovery...

Geneviève Dulude-De Celles’ portrait of a shy girl in Quebec shines a gentle but beguiling light on the trials of becoming a teenager
This is a gorgeously gentle feature debut by the Canadian film-maker Geneviève Dulude-De Celles: a calm and tender portrait of a shy 12-year-old as she yo-yos between childhood and adolescence. It is beautifully acted and full of emotional complexity, although at times the storytelling seems a little derivative, with scenes half-familiar from indie’s back catalogue of coming-of-age movies.
Emilie Bierre is lovely as Mylia, who is so painfully self-conscious that she hides in a toilet cubicle until the bell rings on her first day at a new school. Mylia lives in the sticks with her parents and younger sister Camille, a little scamp who sits at the breakfast table shoving cereal up her nose. There’s a pang of sadness seeing the two girls together:...

Paris-based company Indie Sales has acquired the coming-of-age drama “A Colony” which will be making its international premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in the generation section.
“A Colony” marks the feature debut of Geneviève Dulude-De Celles, whose short film “The Cut” won a prize at Sundance in 2014.
Set in Sorel Tracy, a Quebec town, at the end of summer, “A Colony” follows Mylia, a timid 12-year-old who must leave her little sister and native countryside to enter high school. Lost in this new environment, she meets Jacinthe, who introduces her to teenage rituals and absurdities, and Jimmy, a fierce young native from the neighboring reservation whom encourages her to cross boundaries, and ultimately form her personal identity.
“A Colony” previously won six awards in Quebec, including the best film and audience awards at the Quebec City Film. Festival.
