You're Sleeping, Nicole (2014)

The greatest movie ever made..!

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Just perfect...

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

...is the lead virtue and good motif for see it. because, at the first sigh, the story do not exist. a young woman levels to self discover. dialogues, plans, relations, experiences. and, in final, answers. to herself. about life, the others, forms of happiness and ways to escape from the borders of a deep crisis. all in a seductive film, seductive for the grace of Julianne Cote performance and for a sort of minimalism who is the right prize for a part of public.

I never thought i'd be watching this movie but i am pretty much happy i watched. I felt intense till the end every frame is countable. The Protagonist Nicole is vulnerable but it will give you hope. I also loved the music.

I definitely expected something different than what I got from this film. On the surface, it's a simple premise, a seeming coming-of-age tale of a young woman in the brink of adulthood and her feelings about growing up. A lot of the film works in the quiet though, all of the performances are incredibly understated but very effective (even more effective than the lead actress is Marc-Andre Grondin, who really shows us the loneliness and yearning to stay a certain way). Many will not take to the film, which is understandable because it's not at all plot driven by any means. However, it's only as it goes on that you really feel like you are watching something special, most evident when the extraordinary ending comes.

Beautifully shot in black and white, and set during the summer in a town in Quebec, this film is intentionally slow-paced as it tracks the ennui of its main character Nicole. The sexy young woman, ably portrayed by Julianne Cote, is trying to navigate herself through such early adult experiences as relationships with men, trying to cope with a most boring job, and getting her first credit card, on which she promptly books a trip to Iceland with her best friend Veronique (Catherine St-Laurent).With her parents away on vacation, Nicole has been left to look after their house, along with her much older and rather depressive brother Remi. He's constantly conducting jam sessions in the home with his band mates, which is not helping Nicole's insomnia any.I think one's enjoyment of this movie will depend on how long the viewer is willing to wait, with its very deliberate pacing, for the comedic nuggets to appear. I thought there were some very funny scenes, while others didn't work as well, and appeared too flat-toned and even tedious, at times.All in all, the deadpan and quirky humor here only is partially successful, in my opinion. The film is written and directed by Stephane Lafleur.
