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.
7分。剧情走向和反转都在意料之中，除了真正的强奸犯这个设置。这十年来，女性议题在印度的社会类型片里占比越来越大，也体现了我们邻居的社会意识和公民意识在慢慢变好。
没有唱歌跳舞的印度片，立意不错，本来可以拍得更好些，现在最大的问题在于太直给了，到后来拍成保护妇女权益的宣传片了。
有些故弄玄虚 30岁幼儿园女老师搞事情为了引起社会重视印度女性安全问题 阵仗显得不小 重重拿起 且轻飘飘落下
主角和Ron之间的各种互动其实很戳我，他虽然是机器人但比主角身边的同学都更像一个真人；在设定和逻辑上其实是有瑕疵的，不过整体脉络很清晰，剧情有优有劣吧，确实后半段剧情有点牵强结局意料之中；映射现实的同时也还是留有很大的想象力空间，电影还是很好看的
7分。绑架只为获得发声的话语权，将强奸搬上台面，唤醒装聋作哑的群众，推动立法。揭露政府腐败堕落，媒体妖言惑众，套路化和节奏掌握的不错。镜头不算突出，偶尔还有突兀的特写推镜头就很尬。

立意挺好的，可是作为悬疑犯罪片来看的话，漏洞有点多。
【剧透注意】总体理想化了一点（包括女总理、除了强奸犯无人受伤等等），而且故事走向其实很好猜，过程中也有不少bug，过程也缺了一点紧张刺激。但强奸犯真身确实有反转到（虽然前面她留下了司机这个让人想不通的举动其实就透露了一点，其他“敬礼”“始终上保险的枪”等伏笔也埋得不错）但胜在立意很高（对强奸犯处以死刑），而且成功“弑仇”（这才叫tmd正能量！），以及最后的字幕非常震撼（在你看这部电影期间就有8个印度女性被强奸）。最可惜的是人人视频的翻译稀烂（纯粹机翻），英语还基本能懂，但印度语的内容就……
印度的女儿 （不得不问，在印度拍电影多花几万做bgm会判刑吗？）
这电影能看到国内外进几年好多同类型作品的影子，远到《3年A班》《沉默的真相》近到《开端》《新蝙蝠侠》……
有社会问题 有承载社会事件的媒介 就是没有电影
有蹭热点之嫌 有狗血 有刻意 可是坏人就是要被惩治啊 为什么受害者还要承担更多呢 记住这个星期四 不要再置若罔闻
胜在立意和前后呼应，技法太差，大量无用的镜头和强作惊悚感的配乐，表演痕迹也很重。补充一点，印度英语让我全程如坐针毡，还不如用本土语。
女性生存环境太不易，绑票劫持只为发声话语权。印度总理沉重道：这又是一个我们体制的受害者。故事展开和反转也是狗血到有点无语，但看到别人家能拍咱们只能干瞪眼的题材时，评价总是不得不加多一星……
呼喊印度女性地位的一部电影！印度电影现在很有正义大于法律，法律又是因一次次有情之人触犯而让无情变得更公正一些。
当你开始看这部电影到现在，已经有8名妇女被强奸……不知道该说些什么，你可以说她是噱头，但她真的有别的办法吗？没有。没有。没有。
换位思考，社会需要进步，有时候真的如泥牛入海，那个国家都不例外，就如拐卖妇女儿童在国内一样被轻判，有时候真的需要极端才能把事情解决
但是后面是真的没想到畜生就是那个司机
再次验证，印度韩国的电影都把我们远远甩在后面。虽然他们电影照样拍，恶心奇葩罪行还一直犯……
70/100 放在印度的语境下，社会意义远远超过了影片本身，她是中国的药神，是韩国的熔炉，是社会阴暗面一个呐喊的突破口；她也更是理想主义的——所有进展都在计划之内，所有要求都能被满足，更是撼动了法律，反观现实世界，又是多么的无助。
