Tanya’s Score: Good*
Rated: 14A
Starring: French Canadians
Plot: Loosely based on Greek mythology, a family of refugees living in Montreal struggle to deal with tragedy.
Tanya’s Verdict: I don’t know much about the Greek tragedy this film is based upon – so I watched it without any expectations. And I found it to be a unique storyline comprised of rich and interesting characters. Especially where main character Antigone is concerned. Nahéma Ricci is the young and bright-eyed actress portraying the teenaged heroine of this film. And in my opinion – she is riveting to watch and carried this movie along.
Antigone is an interesting story that unfolded in ways I didn’t anticipate – but even so – I was a bit disappointed by the way it ended.
*Four score descriptions: Sh**; Okay; Good; Great
I watch movies based on your reviews….you are usually right on the button!
This movie would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the ending.
