His life in ruins, Nicolas arrives to live with his parents at a seaside retirement home, disrupting their peaceful retirement. When Nicolas meets Nina, he falls head over heels in love. But Nina is only using Nicolas as a means of getting back at her cheating husband André, a prominent theater director. Determined to win Nina's heart at any cost, Nicolas goes against her wishes by striking up a friendship with her son Quang, and attempting to gather enough information to charm the elusive beauty out of her turbulent marriage. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

James Adams, Globe and Mail
While the acting's uniformly fine, the dialogue occasionally smart and funny, Whirligig feels too schematic with an ending too pat and tidy.

Norman Wilner, NOW Toronto
Director Thorne hasn't the slightest idea how to make any of this funny or meaningful.
