Citation :
« The High Cost of Living, a somber morality tale set in Quebec, bears all the hallmarks of an uncompromising indie drama: a downbeat scenario, flawed protagonists, a strongly regional inflection. This debut feature by the Canadian director Deborah Chow is so artistically well-intentioned and earnest in its ambitions that you can almost forgive the banality of its every scene. »
