This low-budget road-movie tackles men-women relationships with humor, drama and a lot of dialogue, which the young, mostly unknown actors deliver marvelously. Interestingly enough, this story, which mostly takes place inside cars, is very entertaining, with many different views on it's subject (through all the main characters) and a sometimes thoughtful dramatic foundation which brings every thread of the story together wonderfully at the end, shaping the fragile balance between companionship and division with a song by Sinéad O'Connor: 'This Is The Last Day of Our Acquaintance'. Funny, original and more clever than it might first appear to be.
I have never been the kind to run out and watch French-Canadian movies.
However many people talked to me about this one and so I forced myself to rent it. The result: I was very genuinely surprised.
This movie is good because of the same reason Seinfeld was a top comedy for years: it's a about nothing and yet it's about everything. It's about our lives; it's about just being human beings. Everybody will recognize himself/herself in some or all the characters.
Moreover, this movie is natural, with excellent acting, even though most are inexperienced actors (if you judge from each actor's filmography).
Congratulations to all involved!!

What a surprise to me. I go to the cinema in the hope of see Signs, but I was too late. So, I buy a ticket to see Québec-Montréal and... wow, a pretty interesting film. Made a low budget, like others canadian movies, we focus here on the characters and their relations between each others. It's funny, strange, but the last five minutes are, for me, a sad end. Make your own judgement.
I'm not that big a fan of the local movies around here, but I was told to see this one, and so I did, and I sure as hell don't regret it. The discussions are incredibly real, not so much a scenario and actors as plain people just talking about relationships. What's so impressive and scary is the fact that you recognize yourself in each one of the character and that in itself will make you think for a while about who you really are, who you're becoming, depending on your age. A very funny film, trust me.
When I saw the poster of this film I thought: another stupid film. But I was completely wrong. Québec-Montréal has a brilliant script and a excellent editing.
The story takes us from Quebec city to Montreal in 4 different cars. Not much action but great dialogues. Young people between 25 and 30 years old talk about love, sex and respect. They sure have a hard time understanding the 3 subjects.
All the actors are terrific.
Don't miss that film.

A wonderful little movie that talks very well about men-women relations in a modern and original way. Love is never simple and on being on the road is often the occasion to say real things (not always pleasant).
Film improved later as the stories among the various cars unfolded. Still it was so trivial in the end. I liked the cinematography in some scenes but the faces were zoomed in too much.
This well directed and witty movie relates the stories of many people in their late twenties who travel from Quebec City to Montreal for various reasons and talk about relationships.
The protagonists' paths all cross in ways reminiscent of "Sidewalks of New York". However, the intertwining stories are clearly set in the province of Quebec and francophones from that region will immediately associate with the language and the social references used.
This is the best canadian movie relating the difficulties encountered in relationships since "The Myth of the Male Orgasm". It provides material for laughter and for thought.

I found this movie only mildly amusing. If you think watching people in cars talk about love and sex (and not very originally) makes for a great evening, rent this movie. I had a few short laugh, but I was bored as hell the rest of it. Most of the plot was very predictable. I would not recommend it.
I saw this movie on television the other night. I decided to tape it, because I expected great story, possibly a little nudity and all in all, an enjoyable experience. Boy, was I wrong!!!! This movie hasn't got any of it. The storyline is not linear, slow and not what you expected. People driving in cars, talking about life, some scenes of sex, and a very bad direction!!! My disappointment was so great that nothing could convince me to see it end. Why would somebody accept to play a part in this movie? I'm sorry, but the longer I think , no solid reason comes to mind. Absolutely unrecommendable for anything, let alone an afternoon pass time. Skip it if you can.
