Revues de presse
-
"Jean-François Leblanc hits the mark with his first feature film, [...] it's impossible to remain unmoved by this story of friendship, brought to life beautifully on screen by Fabien Cloutier and Pier-Luc Funk."
La Presse -
"A film that plays by its own rules, but respects them. [...] The unusual and original nature of Vil et misérable is worth celebrating."
Le Devoir -
"Fabien Cloutier and Pier-Luc Funk dive headfirst into the absurd and offbeat world of cartoonist Samuel Cantin."
Journal de Montréal
