Movie Haiku:Wonderful French Canadian film by writer/director Louise Archambault about a high-functioning, developmentally disabled woman (Marion-Rivard). Now 22, Gabrielle wants her loved ones to respect her need for some autonomy – including love – in her life. Serious yet upbeat, and full of gorgeous music provided by Canadian Superstar Robert Charlebois. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
