"Highly unusual and original film that splits the difference between ghost story and coming-of-age romance. Actor Charlotte Le Bon (someone I’ve always enjoyed on screen) is a bona fide filmmaker! Wish she had gotten to do a commentary track for this release. The only thing that lets it down."
"Really strong debut feature I believe. Strong performances, beautiful scenery, perfect summer movie for those looking to connect emotionally."
"Went in blind and was surprised by its craft and thematic breadth."
"Beautifully shot coming of age film."
"I think we first heard this mentioned on the Pure Cinema Podcast, and it did not disappoint. A truly great and haunting film."
"A different take on the coming-of-age tale with lovely cinematography"
"Good movie, no issues with the disc itself or the shipping process"
"Falcon Lake is the first feature length film from Charlotte Le Bon, and has Sara Montpetit, who did Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person, after this film. The film may be viewed as a little slow, but the scenery is beautiful. I recently picked up the superb slipcover for this coming of age flick, which, though initially a blind buy, ended up making my favorite viewings of the year list. 8/10"
"a coming of age film that captures the darker feelings of being a teenager, and hits on all the emotions it needs to"
""I just feel it. . . This is my proof. " Summertime stasis is a frame of being that is as dreamy as it is transformative. It's not possible to take adolescence literally, just like it's impossible not to take it personally. There’s something special about witnessing a film take its time to reveal itself. To unfold in a way you never even considered. And not in like, a "twist", where sometimes you can feel duped. But in a, "Oh, this is the direction we're going? Okay!" It's very rare. And I treasure it every time."
