The Barbarian Invasions

Les Invasions Barbares
2003 / 112m - Canada
Drama
2.5*/5.0*
The Barbarian Invasions poster

A Canadian drama with a bit of an edge, but also a lot of name-dropping and plenty of classical drama flair. I liked the first half hour of the film, but once it settles there's not really that much there and it becomes quite repetitive. In the end, I could've done with at least 30 minutes less of it.

The characters are somewhat interesting, which is why the first 30 minutes stand out. Once the dust settles down the film gets into more serious territory, it becomes a bit more tedious, as it doesn't have that much interesting to say (besides pointing out some tired clichés). Not bad, but a little basic.
