This Quebec-made first-time feature is unique and compelling. Mathieu with Chloé drive to
her stunning country hilltop house on Mont Foster in Sutton, Quebec. She is mentally
ill -- recovering from a trauma we do not find out about until the end. What is
supposed to be a recuperative time turns into nightmare. Chloé deteriorates
into scary actions damaging herself and her boyfriend. Somehow, he gives her a
ring for marriage, but he’s actually having an affair. In the end, tragedy of the
ambiguous kind happens. We may never know the truth. The scenery and
cinematography are perfect, but the movie moves too slowly. The ending is
rushed, confusing and needs a sequel.
Laurence Leboeuf as Chloé and Patrick Hivon as Patrick were excellent in
creating such contrasting characters. (Screened at Rendez-Vous Film Festival)
