Parmi les montagnes et les ruisseaux (2025) ***

Impressive documentary about two Chinese dissidents in exile in Canada.

Vous n'êtes pas seuls (2025) *

An unusual science fiction film about an alien abduction.

Comme le feu (2025) ***

A very interesting film set in a cabin deep in the woods. The film uses a very daring narrative strategy that omits certain key elements of the plot.

Amour apocalypse (2025) ***

Quirky and constantly surprising romantic comedy about a kennel owner who suffers from depression and eco-anxiety. After buying a light therapy box to counter his symptoms, he falls in love with a customer service representative who helps him set up the device over the phone.

Deux femmes en or (2025) ***

Excellent Canadian film about two attractive housewives and their raging libidos. A clever and unapologetic look at female sexuality.

Mlle Bottine (2025) *

A rather monotonous film about an opera composer who is forced to takje care of his young orphan niece. Quite dated.

Menteuse (2025) **

Confusing comedy that tries very hard to make fun of woke politics and other complex subjects, but doesn't really succeed.

Vil et misérable (2025) **

Off-beat comedy about a grumpy, but sympathetic devil trying to adjust to life on Earth.
