Sadly Over-hyped

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I have to disagree with the previous critic mentioning this look like a chick flick. If anything, it's just sad that they amplified his portrait as a bad father/husband. A part from that, It was a pretty good rendition of the tragic life of this amazing singer. My main problem is the accent that the lead role chose. I heard Gerry on TV a few times and I don't feel that's the way he talked. The accent annoyed me pretty much all through the movie. The singing was highly credible though and I feel they gave tribute to his music better than the movie Dede did for Les colocs . All in all, the movie has more high than lows although it was maybe 20mins too long.7.8/10

Man this movie could have been good. But it have been wrote by Nathalie Petrowski and this woman has no talent. (her father was famous and shes been living on that forever). So it look like a movie made for television, it feel cheap. (and normally Quebec craft-man can do good with low budget, but this movie look like a low budget one). Fan of Ofenbach or Gerry Boulet will be disappoint cause this movie seem to be made by a woman for woman's. The dialogue are laughable, the haircut look ridiculous. Since the death of great director Jean-Claude Lauzon, Quebecois cinema seem to be dead..and this movie just kill it a bit more...
