As a tale of two lonely hearts struggling to find their way in the world, this is a startlingly moving film. The way they are brought out of their respective shells is just a tad beyond disturbing, yet Belanger crafts the film so well that he brings out the themes effectively, touchingly and with a real sense of unexpected humour. The triptych structure helps make the film much more interesting than it would have been had things been told chronologically ... or from one specific point of view. We instead get to know the characters separately, then we learn slowly (but very surely) about how their lives intersect. The actors are brave and thoroughly convincing in their roles. And the unusual structure, which also includes flashbacks and fantasy sequences, weaves together remarkably to tell a deeply personal--and haunting--tale.
