Nonureva Really Surprised!

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

zetes Odd but wonderful Quebecois film about a young woman, Nicole (Julianne Côté), who is spending a lazy summer at her parents' house while they're away. Much of the time her best friend (Catherine St-Laurent) is hanging out with her, and her brother and his two band members also spend most of their time there, practicing. The mood of this film is quite different: it's very quiet, relaxed. You really get the sense of the ennui of Nicole's existence. Many will find it slow, but I found it both lovely and sad. It's also quite funny. Maybe not laugh-out-loud funny, but slyly amusing. The cinematography is a crisp black and white. I loved it.

Larry Silverstein Beautifully shot in black and white, and set during the summer in a town in Quebec, this film is intentionally slow-paced as it tracks the ennui of its main character Nicole. The sexy young woman, ably portrayed by Julianne Cote, is trying to navigate herself through such early adult experiences as relationships with men, trying to cope with a most boring job, and getting her first credit card, on which she promptly books a trip to Iceland with her best friend Veronique (Catherine St-Laurent).With her parents away on vacation, Nicole has been left to look after their house, along with her much older and rather depressive brother Remi. He's constantly conducting jam sessions in the home with his band mates, which is not helping Nicole's insomnia any.I think one's enjoyment of this movie will depend on how long the viewer is willing to wait, with its very deliberate pacing, for the comedic nuggets to appear. I thought there were some very funny scenes, while others didn't work as well, and appeared too flat-toned and even tedious, at times.All in all, the deadpan and quirky humor here only is partially successful, in my opinion. The film is written and directed by Stephane Lafleur.

benighted2005 Tu Dors Nicole is a film that begins in black and white tracing the life of two young girls. One is the quieter one who bemoans the excessive personality of her other friend but doesn't ever show any sort of emotion because she thinks she is above showing emotion. No redeeming quality in her character other than a willingness to wait for change while it comes without jumping to any station. I think it annoyed people around her too, the way she was, slow, contemplative, waiting for the wind to change.Overall, I didn't hate or love this film but felt it really lacked any cinematic boldness. I would go as far as saying it was one of the most unfrench french films I have seen trailing the exhausting life of a lost young girl who's brother plays great guitar, and the brothers summer she love/hates..and this other guy who's just awkward. The saving grace of the film was that little kid who loves nicole. But then, that prevented it from hitting a 4/10 and oh well, I don't recommend this film at all. Ignore this.

alexlit Tu Dors Nicole (You're Sleeping, Nicole) follows aimless Nicole and her friend Veronique over a summer while her parents are away, and that's as much story as it needs to be a great movie. I felt black and white was a great choice that helped focus on everything happening around the scenes like the sound of a drum or a sewing machine, the emptiness of the suburbs or a field, making it so easy to get lost in the film, even if you don't speak French, I also thought the subtitles framed at the bottom right were a nice touch. When I was aware of the movie, it was only because the scenes were shot so well, and I remembered I was watching actors, not friends I may very well have known as a teenager, and certainly I think many people would be able to identify with the characters on screen. There was a feeling throughout the film that even the supporting characters felt familiar, and I especially loved the voice-over work for the ten year old. I'll be watching Nicole again sometime, and not just because the music deserves another listen as well.It's not entirely unlike Ghost World, but I thought this film felt more genuine, maybe because like Nicole, it wasn't in any rush to get anywhere, and as such was able to take its time and appreciate something in every moment.
