Wow! Such a good movie.

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Many people claim that Robert Lepage is a «genious» ! Well, he might well be... But who could deny that his physique is very far from being pleasant to look at...? We all know that -- due to an early illness -- he's TOTALLY hairless -- no facial or body hair whatsoever ! So, of course, he has to wear wigs. Wigs that are ALWAYS noticeable to sharp eyes ! In this movie, he wears two different wigs since he plays two different characters -- two brothers. And even with artificial eyebrows, his face is «strangely» unbecoming. Therefore, one can say that both brothers are rather UGLY and somewhat effeminate -- specially the one with long hair -- ironically, the one who's NOT supposed to be gay. In most of his films, I think that Lepage seems to be obsessed with at least two themes : the difficult relationship between brothers and having a scene set in a sauna -- often where gay characters are found. My comments might seem superficial but... are they ?

I could not understand what this picture was about. It has something to do with the relationship between 2 brothers and their deceased mother. One brother is interested in outer space and the other is a weatherman on TV. If there is a plot to this picture it went over my head and apparently others as well because some of the audience walked out during the picture.This comment requires 10 lines of text but there is so little to say about this picture that I can't think of that much text. Certainly this is one of the most boring films I have seen in years. It is hard to understand how this film made it into any movie theater.

I read nothing of this movie before going in and I'm glad I didn't. I think I would have been put off by any reviews.This is a great story of human interaction and sibling connection while exploring the depths of the great space race and how it affected one boy's life. Beautifully filmed and containing some truly amazing dialogue, Lepage manages to create an insightful, sometimes funny story of one man's struggle with life.Lepage is a great talent. He not only starred in but also wrote and directed this great little movie. I think many will miss this one which is really sad. Movies like this should really be part of everyone's regular viewing. We'd all be much more enlightened characters if that was the case.8/10 Innovative, fun and entertaining.

For people in the Theatre community, Lepage is a much heralded genius. But the nature of theatre is that you have to be in the right place at the right time to see his work. With this movie he has etched a beautiful masterpiece for world wide viewing (granted it gets a decent release). I'm not sure if it's just my enthusiasm from having seen the play but the story was just one that I felt I wanted to embrace again. The stage play was so cinematic that a movie seemed inevitable, and the transitions between scenes were even enhanced through the use of a camera rather than stage. This is really too biased to be a review, but if you haven't seen it, you really should.
