Boxoffice Magazine
Ten years in the making by Canada's newest film director, Thom Fitzgerald. A young gay man returns to his home in Nova Scotia to celebrate his sister's weding after a bitter absence of ten years. A funnny and disturbing "must see".
Triumphant winner of the prestigious Air Canada People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival, it beat out several of Hollywood's heavy hitters, including L.A. Confidential, The Edge and even Atom Egoyan's The Sweet Hereafter.
This is the first time that an English-Canadian film has won this prize in the festival's 22-year history.
Sorry, no advance pix available - you'll have to come and see this stunning film for yourself!
"COMPLETELY ENTERTAINING... WELL CRAFTED..."
