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.
这片子属于看着不恐怖，但只要稍微琢磨，它就是能把所有原生家庭不如意的情节都体现出来的恶片。 小女主家庭看似幸福其实貌合神离，老妈强势霸道一心望女成凤还会外面偷人，老爸唯唯诺诺只知逃避忍让听天由命，老弟调皮捣蛋跟女主争风吃醋抢关爱夺资源，可怜女主被逼着干自己不喜欢的体操，满足老妈年轻时的梦想，结果身边队友还都比她强。好不容易碰见一个真正理解体贴她的人，竟然是她痛恨的老妈情夫，小女主活的实在是太憋屈了。善良如女主这般的人在这种家庭中是很难生存的，这种家庭只能孵化出黑化的怪物。当更加强大的鸟怪变成女主时，老妈终于露出了会心的微笑， 只要有孩子供她教唆指使，是不是亲生的还是孵化的，已经不重要了，因为她只想在网上秀而已。
还挺喜欢近些年北欧拍的奇幻类电影，有想象力，有人文思考。
影楼质感的服化道，制作也真就是80年代的水平。整得跟大风车剧场似的。
暗喻很棒，恐怖不足，觉得还差点火候，可能还没有充分挖掘好，应该还有空间发挥
我孵化了它，我现在不想要它了……但我还是会为它付出一切，包括生命，我明白它也是爱我的
还挺有趣，前半段完全可以把蛋与孵化看做女孩自身的压力与焦虑的缩影。
本质两星半到三星之间，个人很喜欢加到三星半。导演很懂在这个陈旧老套的剧情里按照自己的能力最多只能拍出中等偏下的作品，于是她加入了非常个性化的调试。你甚至可以看到本片在探讨女孩子被至亲压抑扭曲的心灵的表现时，参考了死色与蔷花红莲。我很喜欢这种讨巧，就好像看见一个对自己的作文能力无法突破高分的人换了个方式去给读者留下浓墨重彩的一个印象。期待导演在累积足够多的底蕴后对类型片的再冲击。
妈妈对女儿畸形的爱，鸡血体操，完美家庭下的锅底灰。小女孩孵出的鸟最终变成了自己
恶魔的侵入是如此顺理成章，剧情不拖沓不造作。恐怖外衣下，揭露的还是原生家庭问题，在这样的家庭里，黑暗战胜了纯真。很真实，我很喜欢。
Body horror的展现好像深得柯南伯格亲传，客体又是女孩，自然引发更强的恐惧体验。母题是非常传统的控制-反抗主干，爱的畸变比怪物更可怖。双重孵化关系，母亲失败，女儿成功，代价无可逆转，结局的安排充满宿命般的悲剧色彩，但表现手法稚嫩且单薄，没能增添悲剧的厚重感。
其中的道理经得起时间考验，但作为一部影视作品，观赏性就明显不足够了。两星。
借一个恐怖故事的外衣，讲述成长故事。很多父母以爱的名义播种在孩子内心仇恨的种子
全片弥漫着很强的不安全感，小女孩可太美了，处女作就分饰两角，结尾太漂亮了！
这个妈妈太可怕了，各个方面，最后是鸠占鹊巢了么，戛然而止了。
从开始的未知的恐惧，到缺乏引导的养育。从电影里可以看到，一方面是母亲对女儿的培养，是失败的，另一方面是女孩对怪鸟的培养也是失败的，一个是太过严苛的教育，一个是放任自由的教育方式，都不行。两个母亲都是失败的。
魔由心生，一代孵化一代。立意不俗，执行差点儿意思。
暗喻比较多，有一篇豆友写的影评不错，把剧中大部分暗喻都说明白了。
一个小故事，但是挺有意思的。虽然开头任务动机有点怪，但后续的一系列很流畅。小姑娘一人分饰两角，演得不错。这个妈也真是绝了，这一家子唯一一个正常人也给祭了。
比怪物更扭曲的是畸形的家庭关系，本质还是讲家庭，只是形式比较猎奇。另外不太喜欢小演员的演技
6.4(5⃣️)，真正孵化邪恶的是畸形的家庭，病态强势的母亲，懦弱无能的父亲，压制又释放出女儿的黑暗一面。猎奇噱头具备一定的吸引力，但是剧情脉络缺失惊喜，使用荒诞的故事走向去包裹着干瘪浅显的表达，最后孵化出的成品也像这个丑陋的怪物一般/ 但是最后怪物完全化身女儿之后太美了！/ 小女孩演得不错
