Les êtres chers

FC:LB3 Sep 18 3:30pm | In brief: The second film from award-winning writer-director Anne Émond (Nuit #1) is a decade-spanning family epic that chronicles the fortunes of a Québécois clan after the suicide of its patriarch.

Ramblings: Story is a series of vignettes taking place over several years. Not very believable. Can't figure out any of the main characters reasons for doing what they do. We are meant to empathize -- can't do it. The ending should have come much sooner. The story just goes on and on.
