Watch You're Sleeping, Nicole For Free

Wonderful character development!

Absolutely Fantastic

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

...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 remember that during the premiere of Tu Dors Nicole at the Cannes Film Festival, many viewers left the theater before the end of the film and some left after only 30 minutes. Does that mean that the film proposed by Stéphane Lafleur is of no interest? After watching it in its entirety, I must say that it isn't the case. His film is full of interesting ideas disseminated throughout the duration. One possible cause of the desertion of the viewers would be the rhythm. Even if the movie is only 93 minutes, the slow pace might irritate some. However, considering the subject (a young woman killing time during summer in the suburb), the pace helps to reflect the odd situations that Nicole (good performance by Julianne Côté) lives and helps to explain her jaded character. We recognize the touch of its director in the universe he presents us with some strange, almost dreamlike, elements that reminds his precedent works such as En Terrains Connus. The soundtrack and the black-and-white cinematography help to give this impression of strangeness from situations or places that are at the same time familiar. There are some elements from the cinematographic language that are used to add relevant symbolism or to amplify the comic tone. The best example would be the character of Martin. This little blond kid in his preteen is endowed with the virile voice of a grown-up. The scenes where he tries to seduce Nicole, who's his babysitter, with some mature speeches are so entertainingly funny and, at the same time, offer a lesson taught by a ten-year-old boy about enjoying the little pleasures of life. The humor works almost every time and is well dosed. Some situations involves misunderstandings between the characters that have at least the merit of making the viewer smile. In the end, with the above-mentioned elements, Tu Dors Nicole is some kind of cinematographic UFO. But the film as a whole works well and depending on the patience of the viewer, it'll prove to be worth the time spent. Just for the atypical character of Martin, the film deserves to be seen and listened to in its entirety.

What a great undiscovered gem. This film captures the lives of the characters (especially that of Nicole) by means of quiet understated scenes that convey perfectly the accumulated stress of sleeplessness, hanging out with the somewhat random group of people we find ourselves with in our early 20s, and the integrity and struggles of the main character. This movie captures life as it is lived. It also captures the casual infliction of slights and hurts that are likely part of every life. Scenes appear at first to be randomly presented but the structure of the plot emerges and, with it, the characters start to become 3 dimensional.
