Imelda

While there are many subtle Quebecois notes that may not quite translate for Americans, this is a rich film for anyone who's ever loved a grandmother to enjoy.

Villeneuve did an exceptional job at capturing the charms, eccentricities and complexities of family, religion and history in Quebec. It brought me back to my season of living in Montreal as an American, slowly becoming more and more aware of the presence of history in the culture, language and city. Endlessly layered and illuminating.

Thoughtful words, luminous sets, authentic character.

Can't wait for a feature-length.

The acting is excellent and the production is impressive. Within the first 30 seconds, you really get to appreciate how Martin Villeneuve cares for details. This is one unique short film - in which Villeneuve's acting catches our attention - given his steady professionalism, proved in previous productions like Mars & Avril.

The story/script itself is well written and the timing between scenes is almost perfect in my opinion. Being able to perfectly understand Canadian french myself, I can say that the translation in English is "right on".

At the end, it's always a matter of taste but without hesitation, I rate this as an 8/10. Really good work. Great talent. M'
