  • Thus, we are happy to find Jean-Carl Boucher — who particularly excels in the art of appearing overwhelmed by events — in the lead role.
    Translated from Le Devoir

 

  • Ricardo Trogi’s new work is the result of the same winning recipe, the one that made the success of 1981, 1987 and 1991: sharp humor, effective narration and seasoned actors.
    Translated from le Soleil
