I really wanted to like this film...

...but it was so confusing, so boring and without a real plot leading.

"I Confess" by Hitchcock is one of my favorite movies and it made me visit Québec City 4 times in my life.

I even stayed over night at the Château Frontenac Hotel (it was with $ 700 per night my most expensive hotel ever).

And I took the guided tour through this famous hotel twice, once in English and once in French.

So I would have expected to enjoy this film, but I didn't.

Actually I'm amazed it got 7 stars in the imdb.

My advice: rather watch "I Confess" with Montgomery Clift. That's true movie art. This one is chaos without a real story line.

Ambitious, intriguing, if not wholly successful

"Le Confessionnal" is nothing if not ambitious: playing out in 2 time zones about 40 years apart simultaneously, AND going to the extra trouble of recreating a faux "making-of" feature for Alfred Hitchcock's 1953 drama "I Confess", which was set and (partly) shot in Quebec. The film has an intriguing plot but loses momentum after a while and at times becomes exceedingly muddled, though it mostly clears up by the end. The best thing about it are the transitions between the present and the past, which are smooth and sometimes purely magical. The actor who plays Hitchcock bears an almost uncanny physical resemblance to the real man, the only thing he doesn't get quite right is the voice. **1/2 out of 4.

Riveting

I caught this film on a movie channel on television today. Although I didn't know anything about it I was drawn into the story and couldn't stop watching it. The film has very pretty scenes with outstanding cinematography and framing of the characters. Great angles and editing. Wonderful symbolism. The pieces of the puzzle keep appearing but the puzzle isn't solved until the final moments. The movie kept me in suspense the entire 2 hours. Bravo! Oustanding acting and use of colors. The acting was very good and although I hadn't heard about this film previously I expect to pass it on. If you life foreign films and movies that make you think you'll enjoy this movie tremendously.

In a word: great.

I work in a video store, and when people ask me if I know a great movie, I am inclined to recommend Le Confessional. This film has got it all: drama, comedy, sex and mystery. Lepage has written an amazing screenplay, which is greatly compelling for the viewer. As a film student, I was also very appealed by the visual aesthetics of Le Confessional. Lepage has used a lot of color symbolism, which is truly eye candy. On the downside, the story is at times confusing, namely because of the two different time frames, but hey, it's Canadian. Overall, I highly appreciated this film and I think you should see it.

Beautifully-Filmed masterpiece from a dramatic veteran

Robert LePage is, in my opinion, a film-making genius. "Le Confessionel" has some of the best photography I have ever seen on film. The plot, the characters, the pacing, and the editing all come together perfectly to make a compelling and visually stunning film. I know Mr. Lepage has done a lot of work in the theater, as well as acting in film (e.g. "Jesus of Montreal"). He is multi-talented and truly gifted.
