HEARTBEAT
Dir: Andrea Dorfman
96 minutes
Cast: Tanya Davis, Stephanie Clattenburg, Stewart Legere, Kristin Langille, Glen Matthews
To say that Justine is stuck in a rut would be an understatement. She hates her mind-numbing job, she can’t stop sleeping with her ex-boyfriend Ben, and not only does she live in her grandma’s old house, but she also wears her granny’s old bras. (Hey, they fit great.)
When things begin to change, (her best friend has a baby, Ben leaves town) she’s forced to deal with her attachment issues and find a way to define her own life. In a series of amusing missteps, Justine recognizes that she has drifted away from her true passion, music, in part because of an embarrassing stage-fright incident.
Once she confronts her fears and reconnects with her music, however, the future suddenly seems full of possibilities.

MOMMY
Dir: Xavier Dolan
French with English subtitles
134 minutes
Cast: Anne Dorval, Suzanne Clément, Antoine-Olivier Pilon
Steve is a troubled teenager. When his mother, Diane, picks him up from a government institution to care for him at home, it is an act of deep maternal commitment and a huge risk. Although he can be sweet as an angel, Steve is volatile.
As Diane tries to manage her son’s mood swings at home, it’s clear that she’s not exactly serene either. A working-class Quebec woman with a messy personal life, she’s barely keeping it together. When their shy neighbour, Kyla, takes an interest in mother and son, a surprising trio develops.
The same wild energy of Dolan’s earlier films is here, but channelled to greater impact. Dolan is ably assisted by cinematographer André Turpin, himself a notable Quebec filmmaker.
March 8: 2 pm: FELIX & MEIRA
Sunday, March 8: 2 pm
FELIX & MEIRA
Dir: Maxime Giroux 105 minutes
French/English/Yiddish
Cast: Martin Dubreuil, Hadas Yaron, Luzer Twersky
An unusual romance blossoms between two lost souls who inhabit the same neighbourhood but vastly different worlds. Meira, a young Hasidic Jewish mother in Montreal's Mile End district, secretly rebels against her faith by listening to soul music and taking birth control pills; Félix is a loner grieving the recent death of his estranged father.
Intrigued by Meira, Félix hopes her religious devotion will provide insight into his loss, and though she rebuffs him at first, a mutual affection soon arises between the two. As Meira's desire for change becomes harder for her to hide, the young woman is faced with a stark choice: remain within the
community she has always known, or pursue an uncertain future outside of it.
