Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Michael Ledo Beloved school teacher Jane Neal (Bronwen Mantel) takes an arrow through the chest in the first scene. The murder mystery in the small community of Three Pines gives us lots of suspects and twists in what appears to be an old fashion mystery.This is a made for TV film made in the part of Quebec where a community of poets, artists, and gays all speak English and nothing as vulgar as French. Once I got over that part, I noticed the characters were rather bland. They had good lines and roles, by the acting and directing was second rate. The guy I had pegged for the killer, wasn't it...but I was close. The clues lead us everywhere like a good mystery.The film had potential. Worth a view for fans of TV mysteries.

cindy-itzo I was also disappointed with this movie adaptation of Louise Penney's Still Life. I love her books and have read them all - twice! I was especially disappointed with the way all the characters ages were lowered by about 20 years. I kept envisioning Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) as Gamache. Also, I see Meryl Streep as Clara, Richard Gere as Peter and Angela Lansbury as Ruth Zardo! To sum it up, This movie was badly cast and not the first class effort that the novel deserved. I hope a better version will be made eventually. I agree with many of you who wrote reviews that the actors should better represent the French-Canadian heritage of many of the characters. Here's hoping someone in Hollywood will take notice and do something about it!

nesskris Storyline was fine, but there are amazing characters in these books, and their witty repertoire is key to capturing the heart of Three Pines. Instead, they looked like a bunch of crazy (and thinner than expected) extras. There was also lack of character development in Armande's team. Beauvoir and Lacoste were bland background characters.This, and other Louise Penny mysteries could (AND SHOULD) be made into a series. There is enough wit and mystery to carry a single novel through a short season, and allow for the long term characters to grow on you.

caruda2 What a disappointment, Inspector Lynley goes to Quebec and is still having problems with his wife.Having read most of Louise Penny's books based in the Province of Quebec I expected the dialogue to be in English but English as spoke by a Francophone in Quebec. I have grown weary of Inspector Lewis, Miss Marple, Poirot, etc. based in upper class English settings. The Chief Inspector Gamache series is much more interesting based in Quebec with all of the Francophone influences. Surely there are enough English speaking Francophone actors in Canada to fill out the roles. Even the actor playing Inspector Jean-Guy Beauvoir is apparently fluent in French, wow, couldn't come up with an accent.What a shame that none of the Quebec atmosphere survived the film making. Just another English who done it.
