Poor title, Great movie - Welcome Aboard review by AS
Patrick Chesnais gives a masterclass in understated acting in this tale of a middle-aged artist who's reached crisis point in life and career. On the way to self-destruct he encounters a young woman at a similar emotional crossroads. The developing relationship could have been a saccharine-laced sob story, but wth subtle handling by director and writer the pair lead themselves and each other back from the brink without histrionics or sentimentality. Although the plot is sparse, the narrative arc is sufficient to hold the attention to the poignant end.
