About this movie

Sarah, a gifted young middle-distance runner, sees her life turn upside down when she's accepted to Quebec's top university athletics program in Montreal -- far from her suburban Quebec City home. Sarah doesn't have her mother's financial support for the move, or any support at all: her mother worries that leaving will have a negative impact on Sarah's health and life. But Sarah is stubborn and moves to Montreal anyway, with her friend Antoine. Though barely out of their teens, they get married in order to get the best scholarships and loans. Marriage turns out to be completely different from what the naïve 20-year-olds expected. Sarah doesn't want to hurt anyone with the choices she makes, it's just that she loves running more than anything else. (Original Title - Sarah Prefers to Run) 2013 Sarah préfère la course Inc.

Ratings and reviews

Bof, il se passe rien, trame narrative maladroite, dialogues plates. Une série de longueurs interminables...

Excellente cinématographie, très psychologique. Magnifique photographie. Subtil.
