Unfortunately, this series was rather boring. I had to watch it in my grade 11 and 12 french classes. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love french, it was after all my first language, but this is a french soap opera, which is not really my sort of thing. I understand that in those days, there wasn't really much to do other than have kids and die, but I think it's highly unnecessary to make an entire 20 film series out of it. I would rather read Petit Prince (Antoine De St. Exupery) any day! However, if you do enjoy soap operas, and can understand french, well go for it: dive into the world of Emilie Bordeleau. And if you enjoyed Les Filles De Caleb, I recommend reading Maria Chapdelaine (I'm an unsure of the author).

I couldn't stand sitting through this movie. It was like knowing everything that happens and waiting for it to happen. It was honestly a severe waste of time. There weren't any surprises, there weren't any uplifting moments, there wasn't even a satisfying ending. It wasn't "funny", it wasn't "talented", it wasn't "clever", it didn't capture a generation, it wasn't anything, except poor. It was like sitting through great potential that was simply thrown out with the bath water. The writer took a fairly simple plot, and theme, then attempted to make it complex, but in doing so, he caused the complexity and the potential to be disemboweled. SLC Punk did nothing, short of rip the still beating heart out of a potentially good movie and squeeze every last drop of potential out of it, leaving only the shriveled corpse of nothingness, which it then held high above its head in a proud manner, while the rest of the film industry watched in horror and disgust at this putrid display of refusal to release one's long since dead past. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone except those who think the word "punk" means anything more than being anally raped.
