CRFF Lovely Day

The build-up toward saying, “I do,” in a room full of friends and family is stressful for just about everybody. Even so, the anxiety levels for the hero of Lovely Day are completely off the charts. Though his bride-to-be, Virginie (Rose-Marie Perreault), is a steadying influence, Alain (Neil Elias) has no lack of sources for his overwhelming state of consternation. Among the culprits are his unreliable best friend and best man Édouard (Hassan Mahbouba) and his long-divorced parents, Yolande (Hiam Abou Chedid) and Elias (Georges Khabbaz). Yet as the day unfolds, deeper reasons surface and each casts a new light on his actions and reactions. Delightful and poignant in equal measure, the result playfully deconstructs the wedding movie while still providing all the richness and relatability that such stories provide.
