Very long and uneventful French language Canadian Film that goes nowhere - Falcon Lake review by PV
Gosh this is a slow boring film. Goes nowhere too. Pretty lakes and forests in Canada - Quebec. But that is it. Writer and director is female so maybe the focus on character alone as with many women's novels is to be expected.
I was waiting and waiting for something to happen. I did think it might be a horror at first. Sadly, not.
Some mild sex and envy - lasting 2 hours. Yawn.
Watch CLOSE by Lukas Dhont to see how a film (in French) about sex and sexuality and teenagers can be made.
The actors are decent esp the main teenage roles, but I was confused about the relationship between everyone, the Americans and French or Canadians. SO 1 star for them and 1 star for the pretty vast Canadian lake and forest landscape (which I have visited) so 2 stars.
