      Bound

      It's captivating if you let it, as another reviewer stated here. It's very strange that even though you feel that the movie goes off a couple of times (you could also call it being inconsistent and off-balance), there is a weird enticing element to it. And it's not the fact that we have lesbians in the main role.

      There is another level to the movie, that is a layer of mystery, that might leave you with a few questions you might not be able to answer. But you'll either cherish that thought or think that it is redundant. If it's the former you will be able to enjoy the movie to a certain degree. The relationships between characters is very important. But the ending is really not holding back either ... You'll love it or hate it

      Quirky yet dark

      Watching a lot of independent films like this during the "free for the coronavirus Hollywood Suite channel". I liked the rugged backwoods Quebec backdrop and the interaction between characters. When things seem a little bit off to you as you watch, then they probably are. The plot twists slowly. Neatest obscure closing song of a movie (for me) since Before Sunrise. Marie Pöör, "Pretty Day".

      I was expecting a predictable

      My two favourite Denis Côté films are CARCASSES and JOY OF MAN'S DESIRING. By a solid margin. They represent the hybrid strain in his work and stand, I guess, peripheral to the more standard art house narrative features, most of which are very strong but fundamentally slight. VIC + FLO probably needs to be granted special status as exemplar by virtue of its being the ultimate eccentric marginal bedraggled folktale.
