This film is more a poem than a movie. It traces the memories of its adolescent protagonist as they come to mind. But it is all about loss and love. It is the loss of a prosperous Vietnamese family's means and identity at the fall of Saigon, in 1975: the loss of a friend, the loss of lives through the brutality of war. It is the love this family found within a new country, in Québec: the different language, the endless winter, the loving sponsors who welcomed them. On the big screen cinema, where I watched this film, the majestic winter scenes of the Québec countryside are breathtaking.

It is Québécois cinéma at its best !

This series is brilliant comedy. It is hard-core, bad-assed New York at its most raw. The actors are excellent, but they need good dialogue and scenarios. The writers provide both, in spades. I have rarely seen a series or movie that constantly keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen next. Kudos to the producers.

One of my all time favourites, this movie is simply fun! it is a comic book style movie without the mind numbing mediocrity of Marvel Works. The visuals are excellent, and the actors play their roles tongue in cheek. It's simply fun.
