June 3:5:00 pm, 7:00 pmJune 4:5:00 pm, 7:00 pmThere might never be a better movie released in this era that celebrates the vibrancy of Montreal’s cultural sphere quite like this one. Not even Québec-based productions ever captured the feeling Levack imbues through Grace Pine’s (Barbie Ferreira) journey of self-discovery. The twenty-six-year-old music critic decides to quit her job at an incredibly sexist magazine and move to Montreal, in an attempt to write a book about Alanis Morissette’s “Jagged Little Pill” – a watershed moment not only for Morissette’s journey as an artist, but for Canadian music as a whole. At her apartment in the Mile End, her roommates Madeleine (Juliette Gariépy) and Hugo (Robert Naylor) introduce Grace to the band Bone Patrol, led by singer Chevy (Stanley Simons). The burgeoning author immediately becomes infatuated by the frontman’s charms and vocal talents, but also develops an affinity with the band’s guitarist, Archie (Devon Bostick). What you think will happen happens, but part of the charm of such a predictable coming-of-age tale isn’t necessarily the story being told, but what’s around it. –Film Speak
“Levack’s screenplay is sharp, deeply human, painful, but genuinely hilarious. You’ll laugh, you’ll swoon, you may even shed a tear.”-Film Threat
