Nobody “nose” the trouble I’ve seen
Roberto (Noé de la Garza) has a nose that won’t quit spewing all manner of things. Could it be pollen allergies?—doesn’t matter, his relationship seems to be over
For those of us who experience similar dilemmas, this film is full of more truth than most others will acknowledge. JWR

When kinky, apparently, goes wrong
On their way to fantasy sex in an SUV in the woods, Will (Étienne Galloy) and Cath (Roxanne Tremblay-Marcotte) seem to have acquired some unwelcome, equally naked observers—or was that Cath’s missing medication doing the talking? Curiously the vehicle lights were ablaze during initial foreplay. Wouldn’t that attract nearby souls, human or not?
Hard to fathom the drift. JWR
