We held a private screening for around 100 persons at the Cinerobotheque of the National Film Board. We wish to thank those who have spent the effort providing some very essential feedback for us at this stage of the project. An appreciation on a scale of 10 was asked and is included at the end of each comment. Comments have been grouped by theme.


What touched you the most?

"The sensitivity, the intensity, the confrontations, the end, funny moments, sad ones." 10/10

"The daring approach, the angle and axis of the treatment. It projects us in a very interesting and sustained universe." 8/10

"I laughed and I cried, an intense film filled with real human emotions." 10/10

"The realism, the truthfulness and the emotions delivered by the characters. The theme into which I, myself, went through as it is." 7/10

"The utmost sincerity of the film which shows us the nonsense of life, of love, of..."

"The fact that one can be fooled without being conscious of it and can completely be overthrown by learning it. I will recommend this movie to at least fifty friends and relatives!”

"The sadness of treason" 6/10

"The intensity of the characters, the quest. I liked the music very much."


Communication in Couples

"When the members of a couple decide to communicate with one another, they open their hearts and suddenly, everything becomes clear, everything is simpler." 9/10

"The reconciliation of the 2 characters... and the idea that a love which lasts is possible..." 8.5/10

"The couples’ drama which brings them to stop any form of exchange and shuts them up in a boring way of life where love shades of... However, with goodwill, it is so easy..."

"The whole problem of communication, the lack of communication in a couple brings fear and doubts that all human being wants to eliminate (men and women). I liked the idea of showing at which point the lack of communication can lead to an important consequence." 8/10

"Indirectly, problems in the man-woman relation in Quebec (Yeah, I am not from here!)."

"The difficulties of speaking frankly in a couple. Fidelity versus diversity, it is a combat where the dice are fiddled with."8/10

"- to have been had
- that’s what is being misled
- I know..."

"Repercussions of the unvoiced and of the characters’ lies."

"When the husband starts speaking... and that all becomes clear. Limits, fears, obligations, decisions.”


Humanism

“Is to realize that one cannot foresee..." 8/10

"To see deep fears crystallizing and to be victim and creator at the same time." 7/10
                  
"Human relationships. Existential questionings." 7/10

"Hypocrisy is an assassin."

"Appearances are misleading." 8/10

"The friendship between the 2 girls; Maria and Genevieve. At the beginning, the total confidence of the women towards their husband. The film presents reality.” 8/10

Realism

"I give 10. Because this is life. The messages are very realistic. One finds himself in a reflection on its daily routine, responsibility, need for freedom, and biological changes." 10/10

"Many different aspects and concepts, distinctive vision of the midlife crisis."

"Reality, because it goes right to the heart of the problem. One follows the characters in their inner path - it is nothing but intensity." 10/10

"It is a very interesting movie. What touched me were the women’ stories of being misled by their husband. ...I liked it a lot. To observe how certain women expressed their anger in front of their husbands’ lies." 8/10

"The simplicity. the way the subject is so current. " 8/10

"The situations into which the characters go through, their anguish and the reversal of circumstances; the truth of the dialogues, the "documentary" aspect." 8/10

"The form of the movie, the intimacy to which we have access."

"The dialogues are very close to reality. It is the reflection of our society." 8.5/10

"The truth of the remarks, the play acting and soundtrack." 6/10

Actors’ Talent

"The simplicity and truth of the cameraman’s character that assumes himself and does not hide from where the dramas are born."

"It is not difficult to walk in the shoes of those women who are afraid to be misled, the painter especially. Everything led us to believe that...  This is why it is important to communicate. In any case, I now know the precursory signals."

"The truth and sincerity in the characters’ dialogues, Genevieve’s questioning on her husband who does not open up any more, the worst situation in my opinion is to doubt..." 9/10

"The authenticity and depth of the actors, their generosity." 8/10

"The refinement of nuances in the play acting, the characters’ honesty, their relations and/or interrelationships. We believe in it, it works.”

"The play acting of the 2 women (Graziella and Sylvie). The punch...” 7.5/10

"Sylvie Legault at the Psychiatrist (Danielle Proulx)." 10/10

The subject. The actors’ natural play, the courage to tackle such a delicate subject as fidelity." 6/10

"Dialogues and accuracy of the characters." 8/10

Conclusion

"The treason of all men."

"I had a smile on my lips almost all the time because it touched me and made me ponder. I appreciated the movie very much. I find that it enables me to speak about this private, intimate as well as public subject and that our society is actually also speaking about it. But I would have liked to hear the men’ voice more, to learn about their attraction towards the young women or girls... "8/10

"The end, the outcome; to see that there was still hope.... What touched me also were the emotions: the more the film advanced and the more one felt distressed and angry towards men and at the end... all became merrier. " 8/10
