Les rois mongols

Directed by Luc Picard

Synopsis

12-years-old Manon promises her younger brother, Mimi, that they will stay together, despite their difficult family circumstances and the ominous signs of being put into foster care. During the height of Quebec's FLQ Crisis in 1970, they stage their own rebellion by kidnapping an elderly woman and hiding her in the country, aided by their two cousins.

• Review by Allison M. 🌱 ★★★½

  Scavenger Hunt #37-April 2018Task 5. A movie that has a different title than the book or story it is adapted from.

  Name of novel: Salut mon roi mongol !

  I liked it, despite the fact that the children had a "plan" that they didn't quite think through. But they were kids. The music choices for the time period were pretty good. The film provided good background on the FLQ - basically a group that wanted Quebec to leave Canada and be their own country. The political unrest mixed with the family drama made for interesting viewing without being preachy or dry.

  Vegan alert:-There is a gun that is used for hunting animals.-They talk about wanting to eat chickens.

  This is the 190th film I've seen using Movie Pass.

  Le p'tit gars, je veux lui croquer la joue.

• Review by Laurent Gauthier ★★★★

  Un très beau film à la fois drôle et touchant! Il illustre un point de vue intéressant sur les événements de la crise d’octobre. Avec de belles performances, une bonne reconstitution historique et une bande sonore mémorable; Les rois Mongolsm’a charmé.

• Review by Jean-Michel Fortier ★★½

  Un film qu'on a l'impression d'avoir déjà vu au moins trois foisCinéma québécois 101

• Review by darkfluorescent ★★★★★

  Je pensais pas aimer autant ce film, mais ouais. C'était tellement beau, émouvant, drôle et touchant comme film. Vivre la crise d'octobre à travers les yeux d'une jeune adolescente était vraiment quelque chose. J'ai jamais été une grande fan ou voir même une fan tout court du cinéma québécois, mais des films comme celui-ci me font just convaincre du contraire. Un film à voir.

• Review by Sacha Baker ★★★★★

  Qu'est ce que tu fais quand t'as pu de grand-mère (une qui est folle pis l'autre qui est morte), que ton père est vraiment malade, que ta mère est en dépression nerveuse pis qu'elle a pu l'énergie de t'accorder deux minutes, que t'es pauvre, que l'ambiance politique est la plus sombre qu'elle a jamais été pis que t'es juste une jeune adolescente qui veut prendre soin de son petit frère pis qui aurait juste besoin d'un break? Probablement pas une décision très réfléchie, mais tu veux juste vivre pis être avec ceux que t'aime.

  Je sais pas ce que la majorité des gens veulent quand ils regardent un film, c'est pas mal subjectif pis ça change probablement d'une personne à l'autre. Pour moi, tout ce que je veux se retrouve dans ce film là. C'est vrai, c'est beau et c'est touchant. Mon moi du secondaire avait réussi à regarder ça sans pleurer, c'est pas vrai pour le moi à l'université

• Review by Paolo Kagaoan 🍉 ★★★★

  A father tells his daughter Manon that the FLQ are good guys who do bad things, which, in a way, also applies to Manon. It's also a way to describe characters comprising a film that acutely shows moral ambiguities.

  Classement: 2017Québec: 2017

  Plutôt attendrissant ce film -- comme regarder un Conte pour tous, plus audacieux.

• Review by Leowe ★★★★

  Berlinale Trip, Movie 6: "Cross My Heart"For me "Cross My Heart" belongs to the beloved kind of movies that give you a nostalgic flash even though you've never really been in a comparable situation you could refer to. Besides it masterfully manages to realize look and vibe of the Canadian 70s in a believable and thus pretty immersive way. And although the plot isn't game-changingly innovative it's still capable of making the audience commit into both happening and characters. That's why when the credits ran down I felt deeply moved by the sensitive way "Cross My Heart" deals with topic of growing up.
