“In its own quiet and ruminative way, it’s a sweet and sharp elucidation of the agony and, well, inconsequentiality, of first love.”
—Little White Lies
“Charlotte Le Bon’s exceptionally assured first directorial film is full of light mischief yet heavy with horror-movie mood.”
—Variety
“FALCON LAKE is a sensitive look at a pair of teenagers caught between childhood and adulthood, friendship and romance.”
—Seventh Row
In an indelible debut, multi-hyphenate Charlotte Le Bon (THE WALK) crafts a wistful experience that hones in on the horrors of growing up. Adapted from the graphic novel by Bastien Vivès and set against the backdrop of rural Quebec, two teenagers forge a connection during a summer vacation. FALCON LAKE is a coming-of-age film as much about the uncertainty of impending adulthood as it is ghostliness, the loss of innocence, and life in the wake of the unknown.
