Praise
Dennis Harvey wrote in Variety that the film “proves a worthy return to the strengths and ambitions of Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould and The Red Violin.”The Hollywood Reporter's John DeFore called the screenplay “episodic” and found hints the film suggests a vision of “all the region's inhabitants as a single human population.”

Celebrating le mois de la Francophonie
La Francophonie is a vibrant and dynamic language community shared by some 274 million speakers. From Africa to America, French is spoken on five continents and is the second most learned language after English. With more than 60,000 words, it is an international language of communication used by 80 states and governments. In the United States, the number of Francophones is estimated at 11 million and nearly 13 million Americans report having a French, French-Canadian, or Acadian ethnic origin. The majority of Franco-Americans are concentrated in New England as well as in Louisiana. French, a rich and international language!
