Trivia
After making his striking feature film debut with the effects-laden vision of the future, Mars and April (2012), Martin Villeneuve here makes a more personal short film based on a simple character. Not only did he write, direct and produce the film, but he also makes his acting debut with Imelda - impersonating his own paternal grandmother who passed away at the age of 101 years old.

Impressive

The acting is excellent and the production is impressive. Within the first 30 seconds, you really get to appreciate how Martin Villeneuve cares for details. This is one unique short film - in which Villeneuve's acting catches our attention - given his steady professionalism, proved in previous productions like Mars & Avril.

The story/script itself is well written and the timing between scenes is almost perfect in my opinion. Being able to perfectly understand Canadian french myself, I can say that the translation in English is "right on".

At the end, it's always a matter of taste but without hesitation, I rate this as an 8/10. Really good work. Great talent. M'
