    Getting LOST

    ★★★½

    Very fitting that a documentary about LOST turns out to be more about the community and the people it brought together rather than the show itself. I liked it that way, if you're a longtime fan you've already spent enough hours dissecting its mysteries anyway.
    When I was a kid getting more obsessed by it with every week passing by, it was at the same time obvious that I was watching something very special, but the scale of its impact…

    Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person

    ★★★★½

    Love love love this uniquely softhearted take on the vampire film genre (arguably has even more in common with coming of age stories), and I thorougly enjoyed how crystal clear yet elegantly delivered the metaphores in the film were. Do Quebecois ever make bad films ? I reckon I haven't watch that many, I'm just biased by how memorable and excellent they were. Anyway, already looking forward to what Ariane Louis-Seize's next project will be !
    Also hats off to…
