Set in a small Quebec town in the late-1920′s, this emotional drama follows the life and exploits of Celeste Beaumont, a talented young pianist who gains local celebrity at the town movie theater for her gifts as a silent film pianist. Awkward Pierre Blaudell is her biggest fan and eventually marries her. Shortly after this she bears his son, Pierre, who joins the army. She insists on joining him at the base and his meddlesome, snooty parents insist she give them her son. Pierre is killed in the war, and Celeste flees to New York where she finds steady employment as a jazz pianist. She finds a life-long companion with a black musician and chronicles her experiences in a diary that she passes on to her son after he grows up. Her son becomes a painter and once his own son, Antoine, is grown, reads him the story of Celeste, the youth’s grandmother. Intrigued, Antoine heads to the Big Apple in hopes of finding her.
This movie is an emotional drama about how Antoine, played beautifully by François Méthé, discovers the details of his heritage. This film won many awards in Canada and at Cannes in 1988. François Méthé, who was about 11-years-old, never acted again after this movie.
From IMDb:
A quiet painter, separated from his wife for a year, receives a suitcase in the mail from his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy. He believes she abandoned him to his wealthy, paternal grandparents. The suitcase contains mementos and a diary, a long letter to him, written over the years, with details of her youth, her first job as a pianist at a cinema, the coming of talkies, her marriage, and how he came to live with his grandparents. As he reads through the materials and her story comes to life, his son Antoine, who’s about 10 or 12, tries to break through his father’s silence and sorrow by taking matters into his own hands.
小成本电影超出想象的精彩，四川话对白好喜欢
没有什么落入俗套不落入俗套的说法，观众买账就好，连近年来越来越不爱哭越来越铁石心肠的我都泪眼婆娑地和我妈一起看完了并惊呼真好。每陪妈妈看一次电影都感慨又少了一次。我觉得李焕英阿姨不幸却又幸福，养育了如此出色的一个女儿，在2021年年初让全中国人知道了李焕英，知道了李焕英和她的女儿，我相信李焕英阿姨一定在天上看得到，贾玲也相信她的妈妈在天上看得到。
知道是煽情，却没有被冒犯的感觉。我们每个人都有妈妈，在跟妈妈道别时我们都会哭得跟贾玲一样...
终于有一个女主角，或者说是妈妈形象不再是人忍气吞声，忍辱负重的了。就喜欢焕英的洒脱和大气。
"我宝"那一句真的泪奔了，五星好评，前面笑点不尬，后面反转真的流泪了…
没想到这部电影的余韵会这么长，看完一阵了，脑袋里还会回味一些情节，感慨当下与那个时代那么遥远又那么相似…
“打有记忆起妈妈是个中年妇女，所以总忘记，她也是个花季少女。”我也想回到过去看看那时年轻的妈妈梳两根大辫子的模样。
有点粗糙，但太过真挚。放在精致的春节档里显得凝练质朴，洗尽铅华。看完在电影院哭抽了，没有带纸，只好出来之后用口罩擤鼻涕。感受到贾玲的母亲是一个特别特别美好的女性，希望她此生的遗憾能少一点。散场后把提前回去的高铁票退了，决定在家多呆两天。。
基本上和夏洛特烦恼一个套路，穿越过去弥补现实生活的遗憾。但剧本比不上夏洛打磨的千锤百炼。能看出贾玲对母亲的真挚感情，但不足以撑起一部电影的篇幅。
不是我拉男女对立啊。当屏幕上出现 “贾玲 执导”字样的时候，就比起那些拍了几个直男癌片子就写“××× 导演作品”的，要真诚多了。
最感动的，不是我对你做的事，而是我对你做的事，你都明了。
“妈，你怎么那么爱笑啊。”
“我的女儿，只要健康快乐就行了”
是不是被隔壁唐3给惯的了，明明也就一般的片子，怎么一下就彪到30亿了，贾玲真应该感谢一下陈思诚
从第一秒妈妈出现就开始哭了，足够简单也足够真诚，好羡慕贾玲，有这样纪念母亲的才华和方式
在贾玲说出对啊，我妈怎么会缝的那一瞬间整个电影在这里开始反转，从这里开始显得不一样，我爱这一瞬间！！！！
这片子好时机，能这么高分，只能说明人民群众的情感匮乏到什么程度了
如果你只是把它当成一件商品，那么眼泪的容量可以跟商品的质量成正比。如果你还把它当成一件艺术品，那么真诚只是优秀艺术品的要素之一，技巧和手法同等重要。【仙桃金逸】
因为它体现了贾晓玲的自卑和丧，她觉得自己活着什么用都没有，她凭借自己无法让母亲过上更好的生活，所以她才想出这个办法。
美术很棒，每一个布景都很用心，故事情节的跳跃感有点像韦斯安德森的感觉但又不完全是。
