I loved this movie. A wonderful examination of parenthood and its responsibilities. Patrick Huard is excellent in the lead as David, a seemingly feckless 40 plus year old who can't seem to face up to his responsibilities in any aspect of life. Until one day a series of sperm donations given many years previously comes back to haunt him and forces him to confront some challenging questions. It's not giving too much away to say he faces up to those questions and answers them.
And it's not just a movie about parenting, its a movie about families: what it means to be part of a family and what is it that a family actually is. It's a movie that redefines the family unit. Julie leBreton is excellent as David's long-suffering girl friend. The movie is beautifully shot and a visual feast. The colors of the movie start in blues and greens and become richer as the central character becomes changed by the situation he finds himself in. And how often do we see a film of such quality set in Montreal? If you love good movie-making, you'll love this.
