| Senses of CinemaDan SallittA nostalgic story of a family-owned gas station... [director Louis] Bélanger's film plays just a little cute, but is perceptive and light-footed in sketching the anxiety of the benevolent paterfamilias. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter ChawIt cares enough about its creations to forgive a multitude of sins. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunDespite the small canvas, Gaz Bar Blues manages to take on the universe. |

| User ReviewJp GOne of the 2,3 best movies out of Quebec, ever. It's that simple. Serge Theriault's performance is deeply moving. His father figure is both warm and stern, a joy to watch. |
| User ReviewSimon RMon film québécois préféré. Un film à la fois simple mais qui a vraiment saisi l'essence du Québec. |
| User ReviewAdler LOne of Quebec's best movies ever. It captures the essence of how Québécois think and see the world. The parallel between Berlin and Montreal is just brilliant. |
