The book for this movie is a modern Canadian classic that has quickly become a staple on every CAN-LIT course. I loved the book. But honestly, I think I like the movie more. It is such an incredible adaptation with very strong performances.. I think it visually captures the themes of the novel perfectly, and then it goes a step further, even. 8/10
It was a strong year for Canadian screen-writers. "The Stone Angel", "Blindness", "The Tracey Fragments" , "Young People __ ing " "Fugitive Pieces". Nice.
