What's it about?

Did you like it?
It's a very funny movie by a first time director from Montreal, Tim Godsall. He had such a command for the tone. It's a very tricky tone to get. It's sort of observing the difference between Britain and North America. The performances were amazing as well. Intelligent audiences will love it. I highly recommend it. There's so much talent in the Canadian film industry and I see it getting better -- whether it's from the performing or filmmaking side.
Next screening:
Friday, September 18th at 4:30pm, Elgin Wintergreen Theatre

We saw the movie and honestly it felt dry and bland
