Watch Aurore For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Fantastic!

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

There are too many formula films made in Canada where Chicago-wannabe Toronto masquerades as, well, Chicago. (Think "Big Fat Greek Wedding") Aurore is a Canadian film that tells a Canadian story well using the filmmaker's craft. It says a lot about the state of English film in Canada that this gem had to come out of Quebec. As the story unfolded, the film evoked two different emotions in me. The first emotion was shame that such terrible events could happen in this country. That says something about the film maker's fidelity to the facts and his ability to convey the brutal truth.The second emotion was pride that Canada could produce such a fine film. I grew up in Quebec and this film captures rural Quebec perfectly. Whether this film captures the period properly, I don't know as I wasn't around then but I feel it was almost perfect in the little touches such as the Prosecutor speaking English-accented French. There are a number of religious allusions in Aurore that are set out right at the start where the film is dedicated to Aurore who suffered so that other children shouldn't suffer from the same insanity. Aurore is portrayed as a Christ-figure with the priest as her very Judas Iscariot. The priest even commits suicide in a field , as did Judas.My only complaint with Aurore and why I didn't give it a 10 is the dull English subtitles. My French isn't very good but some of the subtitles are dull. When Aurore dies, the doctor pronounces "c'est fini" (It is finished, one of the Seven Words from the cross)which is translated as "It's over". The lousy subtitles may be the main reason why Aurore didn't get more attention in English Canada and the U.S.

I saw the original movie as a child and was so saddened by what this young lady went through. It was of course in black and white and very realistic for that time period. The original version was in french but even people who did not understand a word of french were lined up to see it because of all the hype about it. French people would be translating to the non-french viewers as the movie was going on. This updated version is done very well and, I am still to this day saddened and haunted by this young lady's tragic life story. Even in this day and age where we see and hear about so many neglected and abused children(because it was not talked about in those days) this story still stays with me.........

in my small town, we Rarely get french movies. When i saw Aurore was playing, i got my friends together and we went out to see it, basically to support a french movie being in theaters. At first i wasn't sure weather i was going to like it or not, but i ended up getting super involved in the film, and loved it. By the end of the movie there wasn't a person in the theater that wasn't either crying or swearing under their breath. It is a touching story, and is Wonderfully acted out! ITs a true story on top of that... horrible. Anyway, i definitely say its worth watching it, even if it draws a few tears.Erica

Best Quebec movie EVER! Everything is just perfect in this movie....The acting is fantastic (Great performance by Helene Bourgeois Leclerc) and the story so touching...The story is base on the true story of Aurore Gagnon which takes place in the 1920's but even if it takes place 85 years ago the story is still and unfortunately will stay actual. Can't wait for the DVD! Hopefully this movie will have an international release because we can't just keep that movie in Canada, we have to share it with the rest of the world.If someone is not touched or not crying while watching this Drama is simply NOT Human! Hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did! This is sincerely a most see movie!
