My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Mon Oncle Antoine (1971)

I think this could be considered the Canadian’s version of A Christmas Story but instead of being funny it’s a big bummer. I liked it but it wasn’t the kind of Christmas film I wanted to see. 15 year old, Benoit works at a general store in a mining town in Québec . He’s coming of age learning about love and death. I know this film is revered as a classic of Canadian film and it is well-made but since I’m not aware of that region’s history and the Asbestos Strike, I was kind of bored. Grade: B
