Review of Tales from the Gimli Hospital (1988) by Elena . — 26 Jun 2007
This could have been a magical cult classic, yet it turned out so awkward. The acting was so atrocious and false that I had to stop the film within ten minutes. Actually, I don't know why, but every Canadian film I've seen so far had the same stumbling awkwardness to it.
The imagery is really beautiful at times, but it feels like painted plastic, and the acting makes it unbearable. It falls apart. Pretty cardboard surface that literally, PAINFULLY reeks of lack of depth.
The whole afair is skin-deep, barren, soulless pantomime which completely kills any magic the film could have had.
