VIFF: Falcon Lake

Following her bow at 2022 Cannes Directors’ Fortnight, Charlotte Le Bon makes a VIFF debut with this thrilling and lush coming-of-age tale of first crushes, heartbreaks, and loss.

The film follows 13-year-old Bastien, who gets paired up with a reluctant Chloé (16) when their families come together for a summer holiday in a cabin by the lake. Wary of each other at first, the two slowly find their footing and establish an easy, exhilarating camaraderie. But with teenage hormones and ghost stories in the mix, lines get crossed and a darkness eventually envelops the summer bacchanals.

Sara Montpetit and Joseph Engel are mesmerizing as a pair of moody teenagers lowering each other’s defenses in an intimate summer dance. Their easy chemistry is contagious and bittersweet, capturing a spectrum of adolescent angst with astounding naturalistic precision.

“Everything in this immensely promising, superbly crafted debut, is haunted, and every bright, happy beginning anticipates a darker, melancholy end.”—Jessica Kiang, Variety
