Is it for you?

Who'll love it: A natural pick for fantasy fans and anyone who loves a strong drama. Leaves you with something to think about.
The mood: Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace: Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 12 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off: It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

In three acts: Act I — L'Annonciation or The Conception of a Little Gay Boy (2011); Act II — Little Gay Boy, ChrisT is Dead (2012); and Act III — Holy Thursday (The Last Supper) (2013).
