This could be the best Canadian film ever made. Quietly gripping throughout, it makes small town life the stuff of great drama--and in a surprising but wonderfully effective way, brings in world affairs (the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of Communism) as well. Great direction, great acting--superb throughout..
l48bEkp3 on Rotten Tomatoes Serge Thierault's performance, as the tough guy father, is memorable in this very thoughtful, understated and ultimately uplifting drama.
Claire Sawers on Eye for Film Peppered with humour that is savvy, not insipid, and segued seamlessly by jazz and rock tunes, Gaz Bar Blues is a subtle, thoughtful piece that is not to be missed.
