    Extremely well acted. Liking the fact that the director is making the effort to produce a cinematically engaging film in addition to chucking emotions at us. The imagery is effective where the plot is at times bare and too calculated. Also the most deceptive titling I've come acr...( read more)oss in a while, though I like that there is actually thought and repeating theme creating the odd title. It's on loads of my "recommended to you" lists, so when I pulled it up randomly out of the file fray, I was expecting a 70s American exploitation film. I didn't know I was gonna get a modern French film set in the 70s that exploits one character's "coming of out" plot to drive its main character changes. The sternness of the father is as compelling as say, Ma Vie en Rose, but the film is too tied up on Zac's sexuality, causing little attention to be paid to three of the five brothers (and their names make the title). The cinematic devices and music are happenin' but this just ain't "Breakfast on Pluto". The script is a facade of neatness, but with no real chunky thematic backbone to it. Some themes are overtly played with, but there is no emotion from the characters and story alone (without the sappy music and speed tampering shots). Worth a watch, but at the end of the day, just doesn't feel real or unreal enough to work. Falls into that obvious area in between - undeniably fictional drama.

    I just discovered this movie today. It was on sale at the local video store and I said to myself... "why don't you give the good old Canadian movies a chance? They're probably good." So I did and it turned out to be one of the best film experiences I have ever had. This movie is ...( read more)one of a kind.. a masterpiece! Nothing like I have ever seen before. Not many people have heard of this movie because it's Canadian, but it should be known worldwide. It's one of the best movies I have ever seen and I am proud that it is made by a fellow Canadian. Jean-Marc Vallée has definitely earned my respect. Making a movie like this is hard and he pulled it off. This movie took home thousands of awards here in Canada [10 Genie Awards and 12 Jutra Awards] which it rightfully deserved. I am still simply amazed at this movie's perfection. I will recommend this movie everywhere I go now and it is one of my new favourites. I love this movie. See it... see it again, and love it like it should be loved. It's amazing.

    Another excellent gay movie. The transitions between time periods were flawless and unnoticeable. The actors were brilliant. They must have spent a small fortune on the music. Fascinating.

    I decided one day to pick a random movie on Foxtel and watch it without reading anything about it. This was the movie I chose. Originally I was just going to watch the first five minutes and then go play Sims 2, as I was sitting out there deciding on names for my Prosperity Chall...( read more)enge (hence why most of the names of the Sims in that challenge come from this movie). Anyway, although it seemed kind of disjointed and random, I did enjoy it. But I am bias towards movies containing gay themes, as I love gay movies (yeah I don't know).

    A true masterpiece of nostalgia, love, hope, and family. The film is so brilliantly pulled off than one can't help but admire how strong it really is.

    Well, it's available in Canada on DVD. But I think the movie started in movie theaters in UK not so long ago...so I think you'll have to wait a while!!!
