Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant

A French Canadian movie, with English subtitles, I watched it at home on Blu-ray from my public library. My wife started it with me but it is not her kind of movie and she hated foreign language movies with subtitles. There is a scene where Sasha is asked about her favorite song, she pulls a vinyl of Brenda Lee's and plays "Emotions."

Sara Montpetit is Sasha, she looks to be in her 20s but when asked, she says she is 68. She is the youngest member of a family of vampires. It is past time for her to deploy her fangs and get her nourishment from people, instead she uses a straw to suck blood from blood bags.

Félix-Antoine Bénard is Paul, an ordinary person bullied at school, and works at the bowling alley. Paul and Sasha meet when he is on the roof of the bowling alley, contemplating killing himself.

So this is really Sasha's story, as the title states she is looking for a "consenting, suicidal person" and it develops from there.

This is an entertaining movie, not to be taken too seriously. Most of the family interactions are funny.

One of the most original vampire love stories I've seen in a while. It's actually a dark comedy but at the same time it's light hearted too! Both the main leads gave a wonderful performance especially Paul as a kid with suicidal tendencies which he showcases in his behavioural style. The chemistry between them is so adorable and Sasha's emotional conflict makes you laugh at times. At the beginning of the movie we sympathise with her and we start to root for her but by the end, we totally flip to 180degrees and we enjoy watching her kill! 😂 This is really a good coming of age vampire movie which I haven't seen before and I highly recommend you to watch it if you're looking for something new!

I absolutely, completely fell in love with the Sara and Felix duo. Both actors had amazing chemistry and were a highlight of the movie.

I liked the movie story, it was interesting and quirky in a funny, not annoying way, but I believe the main characters actors were the things that took a shine here.

It was hard not to root for them and a good ending. I even forgot that I was supposed to hate Paul for something he did during PE... no spoilers tho.

I was prepared to watch a horror movie, and although it wasn't a real horror I still enjoyed it, and I'm glad I picked it. Lately, it's hard to find a movie that leaves me thinking "Yup, finally something good and worth watching" instead of feeling like I just lost time.

I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

And now... I'm going to check absolutely everything with Sara and Felix in it!

How do I even describe this movie? It feels weirdly cute, even though it's not actually a "cute" movie.

The story follows Sasha, a young vampire-well, technically, she's 68, but she still looks like a teenager. Unlike the rest of her family, she refuses to kill humans because she actually has compassion for them. Her father, trying to support her unusual lifestyle, provides her with blood packs that she sips through a straw.

Then comes Paul-a completely broken teenager. He's bullied at school, mistreated at work, and has basically given up on life. When Sasha and Paul cross paths, they realize they're both kind of awkward, lost souls who just get each other. And then Sasha drops a bombshell: she can't bring herself to kill. Paul, in a disturbingly sweet and self-sacrificing gesture, offers himself up. He figures-if she needs to do this to survive, and if he doesn't really want to be here anyway-why not help each other out?

It's such a bizarre yet oddly touching premise. I went into this expecting a full-on vampire horror movie, but what I got was more of a dark comedy with a surprising amount of heart. The cast is fantastic, the direction is sharp, and the whole thing is just an emotional, funny, and unexpectedly fun ride. Definitely worth the watch!

I was in NYC the other day and I wanted to see something I wouldn't be able to find at my small town cinema. I knew nothing about this before walking in, beyond thinking the title was cute. I love horror, but am neither here nor there about romcoms, but this film was so sweet, charming, touching and funny with just enough genre fare to satisfy my horror love.

All the actors are fantastic, with excellent direction and cinematography. I saw three movies when I was in the city this past weekend, Humanist Vampire was far and away the best of them. I can't wait to watch it again and show my wife. Highly recommended.
