The Guide to the Perfect Family

Such a great movie! The best one in Quebec cinema for a decade. When Morissette is first author, you can't go wrong. Very enjoyable.

Not only a good reflection of today's crazy overparenting but also, a pertinent look of our "performing" society.

Story is realistic, shows problems of our modern society, failed communication between parents and children. There are roughly 4 different parent types in the story perfectionist, careless, overbearing and permissive. Each one acted pretty good, psychological situations are well staged. You should not expect an action movie script as some reviews were expecting, this is a good drama where you will enjoy more if you are aware of those difficulties in today's families.

A movie that challenges the viewers to question their parenthood, marriage and the way the system has been dealing with the youth. It has drama but also lots of humour and social critics in between ...not a movie for kids but for young adults and maybe teenagers.

I gave it a 10 because there is no 9.5 the movie has its flaws but delivers a strong and honest message that is hardly seem to be delivered from most movies.

This story faced by so many modern families seems to be commonplace and not worth making a movie out of. Yet the art direction is beautiful and there are some moments that brought a lump to my throat. This is a near tragedy with a glimmer of hope.
