Really, Academy? I wonder what was going through their heads when they nominated this 10-minute movie for an Oscar. Not only is it infinitely inferior compared to the eventual winning film (which was good, but not great), but "Dimanche" is just not a good film at all. All the humor in here is basically supposed to come from animals dying randomly all the time. But it's not entertaining at all. The only somewhat funny scene I thought was the comparison between the crows talking and the party guests talking. That's it though. The characters are uninteresting, especially the protagonist, the story is almost non-existent and same goes for the comedy. Really a bad film and the only thing I can say in Patrick Doyon's favor here is that he is not experienced at all. Anyway, I am definitely not sad that he has not done another movie since 2011. Then again I am usually not too big on NFB films, but this one here is still a travesty nonetheless, no matter who produced it. Highly not recommended and one of the worst Oscar-nominated films of the new millennium.
