| The Film StageJared MobarakI loved the elaborate construction keeping us on our toes from one weighty step to the next. |
| Irish TimesTara BradyBellucci has seldom been better as she flexes every known acting muscle. |
| Seventh RowMary Angela RoweGuy Édoin's Ville-Marie is a visually striking film with a curiously dispassionate core. |
| Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijThough occasionally somewhat blunt and derivative, this drama is more often an insightful and admirably complex take on human behavior. It can only further cement Edoin's reputation as one of Quebec's brightest new directorial talents. |
| User ReviewKhaled MWas solid enough in places but lacks the flavor or elements that would keep the momentum going. |
| User ReviewAmanda CThere is something at the core of Ville-Marie about how society frames motherhood as both the greatest joy a woman can experience while simultaneously using it to trap women within the status quo. It's too bad that director Guy Edion can decide if he's trying to make a serious drama or overwrought melodrama. There are some solid moments, but Monica Bellucci is given some truly awful scenes that debase and shame her to no end, not even a twisted misogynistic one. Unfortunately her character has too much screen time and is too central to whatever it is Edion is trying to get at that the strength of the rest of the storylines and the conclusion of hers cannot make up for the deficit. |
