It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This film switches back and forth between two stories. One is 1960's Paris. Jacqueline is a hard-working protective single mother to Laurent who has Down syndrome. Laurent develops a relationship with fellow Down syndrome classmate Véro. The two kids become inseparable no matter how infuriating it is for Jacqueline. In the other story, it is modern day Montreal. Antoine is recently divorced from Carole with two girls. He is a successful concert DJ and he falls for beautiful Rose. There is a surprising connection between the two stories.The 60's story is compelling. I love the kids. The mother son relationship is exceptional. The modern day story is not as compelling. The trial and personal tribulation of Antoine don't hold any interest for me. The back and forth between the stories disrupts the flow. The final reveal is profound, confusing, infuriating, ambitious, and in the end not all together successful. I may like this one better if it played out chronologically.

Cafe de Flore or a coffee on every rebirth. Whether behind our actions stand reasons set out in the untouchable past or we should not deepen so much? At least one thing is certain - the actions we do draw our future destinies, and our relationships with others are the most important.About what we should not be, about - to trust more on our intuition and most importantly, to seek peace and love. You know the saying - if you love something, let it go and if it comes back to you, no one wants it. About breaking with childhood and building a complete figures based on clearly conscious desires and ideas.I give this high rate, because I liked also the boldness of the film. Because its quality did not suffer from the "vulgar" storyline, because it showed that electronic music has messages as worldviews. Because it showed that money does not make happiness - happiness does not depend on them, but the opposite. it needs a balance. And because through the mouth of the medium it connected the world of faith and reason.http://vihrenmitevmovies.blogspot.com/

At the beginning, i thought that the movie is too slow for me, but then, when i finally let myself to it and just went along with the story, i really loved it. I feel somehow different after watching it, my state of mind has been changed, and i feel so light and heavy at the same time. I appreciate it the most when a movie makes a change in my soul. That's why i gave this movie such a good rating.Other than that, the acting was great, and the story was more or less original. Well, original enough for me. Beautiful music, nicely woven into the plot; excellent photography. This movie has a real potential. Nostalgia-driven, expressive, thought-provoking, at times optimistic and at times deeply sentimental, it teaches about "letting go". And i feel that's a truly important lesson in life. It deserves all the attention it can get.Loved it.

IF you have the patience, then this is a potentially rewarding film for art house film buffs. The acting, photography and especially the use of musical emotional cues are all excellent. However it must be stated that the frequent jump cuts and fake (yes fake! its all in Carols head!) flashbacks will make this a very hard film to follow in the first viewing.The movie tries to balance a fine line between spirituality and something I would call normal life, without that kind of artificial psychological helper mechanisms, but it does end up being somewhat confused in that regard. Clearly the writer has met some pretty disturbed personalities in his life. Personally I am a cold fish, so this movie is an interesting look into the life of people who are clearly guided by pure emotion, but it is pretty obvious to me at least that most of the characters here would be better served with a little less reliance on feelings :-) - but that is just me...One thing that honestly annoyed me is the Canadian french spoken in the Montreal part of the movie - I'm not a native french speaker, but I do have 3 years of high school french, and it was a lot easier to understand the French in the Paris parts, and it was obvious to me that most of the Canadian sections would have been better served with the characters speaking English instead. So be warned and watch it with subtitles.
