I watched this at Cannes, at the film's premiere.
OH, CANADA is a highly original film by one of the masters of cinema, a real work of art. The film is beautifully made with a strong visual look. It features beautiful cinematography and great production design. The acting is strong, especially Richard Gere who plays the protagonist. He gives a terrific and memorable performance in the vein of Jack Nicholson in FIVE EASY PIECES- a complicated, not always likable but compelling character.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea but I think it is one of Paul Schrader's greatest achievements, and a gift to cinema lovers. Recommended.

This is a beautiful film! The costumes, singing, acting, and set are fabulous! Emma Rossum who plays Christine in the film, is an excellent singer and actress and is great for the role. The tunes of enchanting Andrew Lloyd Webber's music are memorable and sweet. A sad but lovely, musical jam-packed with love, revenge, hate, and action. Suitable for ages (not any younger because of sadness and violence) 9 (with parents)- 100! Gerald Butler who plays the phantom is captivating and wonderful! The man who plays Rolf is great and plays a kind (once a friend but later a.....) lover of Christine. The audience will cry, smile, "awe", and cry again. Be ready for the musical on screen of a lifetime!
