Lafleur maintains a bouncy, consistently funny tone that you'd describe as featherlight, were there not real weight grounding it all. It's a near-miraculous trick, and evidence of the immense talent on display here: he has a real talent for making comedy work visually, and as you might expect from a former editor, a sense not just for landing a joke, but for creating a unique and distinctive rhythm.

It is both light as a feather and emotionally resonant. It is defiantly episodic and yet has a cumulative power in its storytelling. It is both airy and emotionally lived-in at the same time. Read full review

Shot on gorgeous black-and-white 35 mm that only seems to enhance the melancholic drabness of the events it depicts, Tu Dors Nicole is an especially wispy, French-Canadian addition to an irresistible genre. Read full review

The actors, some of whom have worked with Lafleur before, are entirely in tune with his intentions and display a beguiling chemistry. Read full review

Lafleur delivers an affecting, funny and eccentric -- in the best sense of the word -- meditation on that in-between state that people in their early twenties find themselves, as they are technically old enough to participate fully in all of life’s activities but they still lack the experience to know what they really want or what’s really good for them.

The night scenes are particularly resonant, mixing humour, suspense and textured visuals. This is the kind of film dream from which you feel reluctant to wake. Read full review

Apr 28, 2015

The aimless, wandering of this twenty-something is a little kooky but rarely unfunny, and Côté flourishes as a woman positively drained by the prospect of having to move forward at all. Read full review

The film's style, the script, and the acting, was all just bizarre. The plot is non existent: the film goes absolutely nowhere, and even in films like that, and there have been spectacular plotless films, Tu Dors Nicole is far from being one of them.

The plot is non existent: the film goes absolutely nowhere, and even in films like that, and there have been spectacular plotless films, Tu Dors Nicole is far from being one of them. There was at least one aspect of the film I liked, but I won't give it away, because I don't want to spoil people the only wonder of this film. It almost feels like an experimental film, which is not what I came into the theatre wanting to see.… Expand
