...is the lead virtue and good motif for see it. because, at the first sigh, the story do not exist. a young woman levels to self discover. dialogues, plans, relations, experiences. and, in final, answers. to herself. about life, the others, forms of happiness and ways to escape from the borders of a deep crisis. all in a seductive film, seductive for the grace of Julianne Cote performance and for a sort of minimalism who is the right prize for a part of public.

I never thought i'd be watching this movie but i am pretty much happy i watched.
I felt intense till the end every frame is countable. The Protagonist Nicole is vulnerable but it will give you hope. I also loved the music.

I definitely expected something different than what I got from this film. On the surface, it's a simple premise, a seeming coming-of-age tale of a young woman in the brink of adulthood and her feelings about growing up. A lot of the film works in the quiet though, all of the performances are incredibly understated but very effective (even more effective than the lead actress is Marc-Andre Grondin, who really shows us the loneliness and yearning to stay a certain way). Many will not take to the film, which is understandable because it's not at all plot driven by any means. However, it's only as it goes on that you really feel like you are watching something special, most evident when the extraordinary ending comes.

Tu Dors Nicole (You're Sleeping, Nicole) follows aimless Nicole and her friend Veronique over a summer while her parents are away, and that's as much story as it needs to be a great movie. I felt black and white was a great choice that helped focus on everything happening around the scenes like the sound of a drum or a sewing machine, the emptiness of the suburbs or a field, making it so easy to get lost in the film, even if you don't speak French, I also thought the subtitles framed at the bottom right were a nice touch. When I was aware of the movie, it was only because the scenes were shot so well, and I remembered I was watching actors, not friends I may very well have known as a teenager, and certainly I think many people would be able to identify with the characters on screen. There was a feeling throughout the film that even the supporting characters felt familiar, and I especially loved the voice-over work for the ten year old. I'll be watching Nicole again sometime, and not just because the music deserves another listen as well.It's not entirely unlike Ghost World, but I thought this film felt more genuine, maybe because like Nicole, it wasn't in any rush to get anywhere, and as such was able to take its time and appreciate something in every moment.
