A little too slick and self-aware, [the movie] never sinks under the weight of its themes, but this artsy craft of a film does creak and list en route to a safe, soppy ending. Full Review |

Little more than a fish-out-of-water tale told like my uncle's suspect raves of his annual fishing trip: colourful but not terribly enlightening. Full Review |

4/5 |
Briand's excellent widescreen composition and Brussieres' cool, composed sunglassed figure are immediately inviting, and the townspeople, who include diner owner Genevieve Bujold, are quirky but not overly so. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Briand's first film, 2 Seconds, was a success. With Chaos and Desire she has overreached herself, but she is an ambitious artist and is moving in an intriguing direction. Full Review |

A hot, visually entrancing film. Full Review |

3/5 |
With a smile halfway between seduction and a smirk, and an intensity that speaks of dark secrets and longing, Bussières has the duality needed to play Alice, a seismologist from sleepy Baie-Comeau. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
So visually energetic and smartly written that one never stops enjoying the sheer pleasure of looking at it. Full Review |

2.5/5 |
The schmaltz factor mushrooms when Briand introduces a gaggle of singing nuns who warble 'Ave Maria.' Full Review |
