"Quelle histoire extraordinaire!"
-- Louise Cousineau -- La
Presse
"...avant d'être un film
fascinant sur la condition humaine et sur la marginalité,
Enfants de choeur (The Choir Boys!) est une magnifique leçon
de journalisme."
[In addition to being a fascinating film about the human condition
and marginality, The Choir Boys! is a magnificent lesson in journalism.]
-- Nathalie Petrowski -- La Presse
"Documentary filmmaker Magnus
Isacsson has earned a reputation as a deeply committed, political
filmmaker. With focuses ranging from human rights abuses (Power)
to questionable environmental practices (Uranium), Isacsson has
consistently questioned the status quo...[his] clear concern
for social issues - in this case, the effects of poverty - runs
throughout Choir Boys!...a superb film that is arguably the director's
finest to date."
-- Matthew Hays --
Point of View
"Les images de ce film sont
belles, l'histoire qu'il raconte est touchant et différente.
Je me suis laisée emporter par ce cinéma vérité."
[The film's images are beautiful and the story it tells is
both touching and unique. I was deeply moved.]
-- Suzanne Gauthier -- Journal
de Montréal
"...une expérience de
cinéma vérité d'une rare franchise...l'histoire
de la Chorale de l'Accueil Bonneau est une longue suite de crises
internes qui ont été saisies sur le vif par le
réalisateur Magnus Isaccson."
[...an unusally frank example of cinéma vérité...the
story of the Accueil Bonneau's choir is a series of internal
conflicts which have been captured with vision by the director,
Magnus Isaccson.]
-- Paul Cauchon -- Le
Devoir
"You'd think a documentary
about the famed Accueil Bonneau Choir would be a sentimental
ode to the triumph of the human spirit, a piece of feel-good
liberal propaganda...Lucky for us, such is not the case with
local director Magnus Isacsson's Enfants de choeur!"
-- Dimitri Katadotis -- Hour
"Avec Enfants de choeur!, Magnus
Isacsson veut montrer au public que les marginaux peuvent contribuer
de façon positive à la société."
[With The Choir Boys!, Magnus Isacsson demonstrates that the
disenfranchised can contribute to society in a positive way.]
-- Isabelle Pouliot -- Alternatives
"An exquisite and fascinating
musical success story...all told in a creatively accomplished
drama built around a group of fantastic personalities."
-- Lars Furhammar --
