Review of West of Pluto (2008) by Serious C — 27 Mar 2010

Beautiful, thoughtful, funny... This film portrays Québec suburbia perfectly. Some regional/local humor may not be understood by those who have never lived in or visited Québec. However, people from all cultures can easily relate to the story and characters, especially suburban dwellers.

I love the teenage perspective, the curiosity about pluto and space, and the actors are so real (kids to adults, the performances are flawless). The photography is beautiful, and the soundtrack is very, very well done.
