Canada's best....

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2000)

I won't be redundant--in view of the many glowing reviews--except to say that this is a most astonishingly beautiful film... ...but i am absolutely stunned and appalled that TV GUIDE would deign to give this film only 2 stars--unbelievable!! who is the bonehead in charge of that rating, and moreover, why?? can Roger Ebert be so far off the mark, with his 3-and-a-half star assessment? i don't think so...
for those of you in other parts of the world, this film is actually from 1998 (in Canada), so you won't see it being mentioned for any U.S. awards, nor was it last year, that i know of...it may have received mention at some festivals...it seems many of the best films are overlooked gems, such as this one--more's the pity!
