Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Maryse and her husband are desperate to sell a backhoe sitting abandoned in their suburban yard. Her brother, Benoit, is trapped in endless adolescence, sharing their childhood home with their invalid father. Benoit is enamoured with a single mom named Nathalie, and he's hoping to finally grow up by living with her... but Nathalie's son does not approve. A serious accident at the factory where Maryse works, a strange series of coincidences, and the arrival of a Man claiming to come from the future launch Maryse and Benoit on a life-changing road trip. Following up his acclaimed feature film Continental, a film without guns, filmmaker Stephane Lafleur once again brings us an ensemble of compelling characters, in a story where the ordinary and the fantastic collide.
Leave your thoughts about Familiar Grounds.
| Globe and MailJames AdamsAll this sounds terribly "indie," admittedly. But thankfully, Lafleur never lets his movie become an oh-so-precious assemblage of quirky tics. |
| Moving Pictures MagazineAnnlee EllingsonWith a synth-pop soundtrack against a dreary winter backdrop, Stephane Lafleur crafts a sharply funny portrait of prosaic life that's not without moments of light and magic. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunThe film may be a bit too understated for some viewers, but a bigger message about the ties that bind is there to be seen under the low-key events. |
| Toronto StarGreg Quill[Its] glacial pace, bloodless performances and minimalist architecture will likely assure it a place in the archives of Forgotten Canadian Cinema. |
| User ReviewFrançois MA quirky, amusing portrait of a sad-sack, non-achiever with a short fuse and an ability to turn everything he touches into mush. So what happens when he meets a man from the future? This is an understated but highly original film which creeps up on you and lingers pleasantly. |
