Matroni and Me

About This Movie

So, 'Matroni and Me' is this quirky little comedy-crime hybrid that captures that gritty Montreal vibe really well. Gilles, the bookish scholar, and Guylaine, the tough waitress, make for an odd but charming duo. The film's pacing can feel a bit off at times, but it adds to that raw, almost improvisational feel. You can sense the tension as Gilles gets deeper into Guylaine's world, especially with her brother Bob being mixed up with Matroni, the gangster. The performances are pretty solid, particularly the way the actors embody their roles without falling into clichés. It’s got this distinct tone; the mix of humor and crime gives it a unique flavor that sticks with you. Plus, the practical effects in some scenes feel surprisingly grounded. Not your typical crime flick for sure.
