a wolf angel is not a good angel

Today I am finally going to see Bon Cop Bad Cop (trailer which hasn’t, as far as I can tell, been updated in a year). I have been waiting for this movie for a year, so I will almost certainly be disappointed. (Other Canadians: it opens across Canada in a week or two. Support the local film industry! People who aren’t in Quebec or Ontario and who are probably ignored, sorry. If you see this movie, maybe there will be another one where they go out west, or to Alberta, or the Atlantic provinces. Manitoba and Saskatchewan, I guess I just don’t care about you.)

I know it had the highest-grossing opening weekend for a Quebec film ever, which is I suppose impressive, in the big fish/small pond way. (Which isn’t fair, because Quebec movies are very good, as — I am told — is much of their tv, though I don’t watch it.) Reviews have been uniformly good, though of course this is in part the “such a cute idea, we have to like it” effect.

Proper review to come tonight.
