5.0 out of 5 stars Colm Feor is amazing, Mar 13 2005

By	"lodination" (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews

This film completely captures the incredible life force that was Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Colm Feor IS Trudeau, he exudes all the characteristics we knew about and those we didn't as well. I really enjoyed seeing more of the former PM's personal life with Margaret and his boys (although we do not see that much of his sons in the film). It really showed Trudeau's human side as well as his political savy. I loved the Trudeaumania scenes as well which were very reminiscent of The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night, which is no doubt the intent. The style of the film is not that of the typical Canadiana biopic, it blends modern elements and uses great Canadian music from the times as well. An all around excellent film, whether you're fascinated by Trudeau or whther you just want to know more about Canada during this tumultuous period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great biography of Trudeau and Canada, Oct 16 2004

By	Joe Klein (New York) - See all my reviews

This is a great movie by all means. It details Trudeau's life from when he was a political novice to his rise as the Prime Minister of Canada. Canada was simply infatuiated with the guy, or at least that's what the movie attempts to show - the TrudeauMania. The movie shows both his good and bad qualities, while simultaneously exploring his rocky relationship with his wife Margaret (played nicely by Polly Shannon). In my opinion, the best part of the movie was the part dealing with the issue of Quebec's separation, an issue that still lingers throughout the country. That constitutes the bulk of the movie, as well as the bulk of Trudeau's problems. He firmly believed that Quebec was a part of Canada. We get a glimpse of the underground politics that came into play with Rene Levesque, the leader of the seperatist effort. Finally, we are shown how the first Constitution of Canada was drafted and came into approval from the provinical Premiers and finally from the Queen of England. Overall, a highly entertaining movie, sometimes hilarious, other times sober and dramatic. A must for anybody interested in the history of Canada and one of its most important figures.

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining look at a very bad Prime Minister, Mar 18 2008

By	Professor T (NB, Canada) - See all my reviews

As with any film that attempts to cature the entirety of a man in a few hours, it is hard to seperate fact from fiction. Still, it is an interesting enough look at the man. The lead seems to have captured the mannerisms of Trudeau; a man that did a great deal more harm than good for the great nation of Canada.
