Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant

I absolutely, completely fell in love with the Sara and Felix duo. Both actors had amazing chemistry and were a highlight of the movie.

I liked the movie story, it was interesting and quirky in a funny, not annoying way, but I believe the main characters actors were the things that took a shine here.

It was hard not to root for them and a good ending. I even forgot that I was supposed to hate Paul for something he did during PE... no spoilers tho.

I was prepared to watch a horror movie, and although it wasn't a real horror I still enjoyed it, and I'm glad I picked it. Lately, it's hard to find a movie that leaves me thinking "Yup, finally something good and worth watching" instead of feeling like I just lost time.

I recommend it from the bottom of my heart.

And now... I'm going to check absolutely everything with Sara and Felix in it!

Ariane Louis-Seize's first feature film is interested in death as well as life, two of the all-time biggest philosophical questions. The way it explores them is in a contemporary fashion that takes from modern classics such as Twilight (2008), where "vegetarian vampires" like the Cullens "only drink animal blood" and so on, and Låt den rätte komma (2008), where Oskar finds in Eli not only protectiveness but also the possibility of revenge towards his bullies, and adds touches of dark comedy.

Sara Montpetit and Félix-Antoine Bénard are great. They add the deadpan and socially awkward hilarity in this movie that follows Sasha, a sixty-eight years young vampire girl who finds in a boy with suicidal tendencies a possible answer to her refusal to kill and satiate her thirst for blood.

Its genre-bending, good acting, and effective comedy make Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant a worth watch.

How do I even describe this movie? It feels weirdly cute, even though it's not actually a "cute" movie.

The story follows Sasha, a young vampire-well, technically, she's 68, but she still looks like a teenager. Unlike the rest of her family, she refuses to kill humans because she actually has compassion for them. Her father, trying to support her unusual lifestyle, provides her with blood packs that she sips through a straw.

Then comes Paul-a completely broken teenager. He's bullied at school, mistreated at work, and has basically given up on life. When Sasha and Paul cross paths, they realize they're both kind of awkward, lost souls who just get each other. And then Sasha drops a bombshell: she can't bring herself to kill. Paul, in a disturbingly sweet and self-sacrificing gesture, offers himself up. He figures-if she needs to do this to survive, and if he doesn't really want to be here anyway-why not help each other out?

It's such a bizarre yet oddly touching premise. I went into this expecting a full-on vampire horror movie, but what I got was more of a dark comedy with a surprising amount of heart. The cast is fantastic, the direction is sharp, and the whole thing is just an emotional, funny, and unexpectedly fun ride. Definitely worth the watch!

As far as vampire films go...this one is about as original as you can get!

The only film that is, even remotely, similar to it, being Shunji Iwai's 2011 film, Vampire.

Which doesn't even have actual vampires in it.

While Iwai's film is a dramatic horror...this French-Canadian gem is more of a horror comedy.

A sort of vampire coming of age film.

In which we follow a 68-year young, teenage vampiress, who find her fangs, when her family forces her to fend for herself in the real world.

As, prior to this, she was mostly sheltered...having been brought up on blood bags from her parents fridge.

Which has resulted in her overt humanism, and, thus, aversion toward killing others to survive.

So, when she meets a local boy, with suicidal intentions...it's kind of a match made in...well, Hell, I guess.

Because he's willing to give his life for her.

But this only acts to make her fall in love with him.

Leaving them with only one option moving forward.

Which just might make things work out for both of them, in the end.

This wonderful film is a darkly, light-hearted, and all-around entertaining, experience.

Another winner from Quebec!

7 out of 10.

This film offers a fresh twist on the vampire genre, blending heartfelt moments with a unique premise. It does a great job at balancing humor with darker themes, making it more than just a quirky concept. The characters feel well-developed and help keep you engaged, even through some slower sections. While the pacing lags here and there, the overall experience is enjoyable and keeps you rooting for the protagonists. The unexpected warmth in the relationships gives the movie a charm that sets it apart from more traditional vampire stories. Definitely worth checking out if you're after something a bit different!
