One Week

One Week is unabashedly, unapologetically and proudly Canadian, from Leafs references to Sudbury's giant nickel, but for once, that's a great thing!

*****If you see only one movie this year ... make it One Week.""""
-Kathleen Bell, SEE MAGAZINE
?It¿ a very Canadian adventure, showcasing this country¿ beautiful landscape and stopping at every bizarre ¿orld¿ Biggest?monument along the way. Like any good road trip, the soundtrack is amazing, filled with atmospheric indie rock provided by Stars, Great Lake Swimmers, Sunparlour Players and the like!
-?Erin Oke, EXCLAIM
?A unique and memorable Canadian feature film. Rarely does a film like this come along that moves me to tears, inspires me to use the time that I have left and has left me in utter awe of a filmmaker that is bound to have a long and lasting future creating films. Rare even more is the fact that ¿ne Week?is the best example of Canadian cinema, one that transcends the usual clich? associated with films from up North!
