Set in a small Quebec town in the late-1920′s, this emotional drama follows the life and exploits of Celeste Beaumont, a talented young pianist who gains local celebrity at the town movie theater for her gifts as a silent film pianist. Awkward Pierre Blaudell is her biggest fan and eventually marries her. Shortly after this she bears his son, Pierre, who joins the army. She insists on joining him at the base and his meddlesome, snooty parents insist she give them her son. Pierre is killed in the war, and Celeste flees to New York where she finds steady employment as a jazz pianist. She finds a life-long companion with a black musician and chronicles her experiences in a diary that she passes on to her son after he grows up. Her son becomes a painter and once his own son, Antoine, is grown, reads him the story of Celeste, the youth’s grandmother. Intrigued, Antoine heads to the Big Apple in hopes of finding her.
This movie is an emotional drama about how Antoine, played beautifully by François Méthé, discovers the details of his heritage. This film won many awards in Canada and at Cannes in 1988. François Méthé, who was about 11-years-old, never acted again after this movie.
From IMDb:
A quiet painter, separated from his wife for a year, receives a suitcase in the mail from his mother, whom he hasn’t seen since infancy. He believes she abandoned him to his wealthy, paternal grandparents. The suitcase contains mementos and a diary, a long letter to him, written over the years, with details of her youth, her first job as a pianist at a cinema, the coming of talkies, her marriage, and how he came to live with his grandparents. As he reads through the materials and her story comes to life, his son Antoine, who’s about 10 or 12, tries to break through his father’s silence and sorrow by taking matters into his own hands.
太煽情，完全沒有建立任何東西的情況下就不停地煽情。over了。
前面那么顺利的剧情到后半段才知道剧情的重点不在于一个残障儿童是怎样成为世界冠军的，可以说剧情的主线主要是集中在母子的互动上，也有涉及到运动员的困境，保障过低才不得不参加商业活动牟利，这是很切实也值得讨论的问题。虽然作为电影作品来说不太完美，但这个故事本身就够动人。
标准规范的传记片，反而没什么特点。煽情太过，配乐太满，升格太多，大可不必。
整体的情节还是太过制式，那个长得贼眉鼠眼的运动员经纪人也没有成为反派大boss，没有反派的电影其实有点难拍，这一部只能说勉强完成任务。
3.运动员的生存情况，但是没有深入探讨
前半段追逐梦想，后半段进入现实。打动我的，是揭露残障运动员在社会上的不公平对待。妈妈的戏份盖过了主角，片尾过于煽情
三星半。母亲在家里是不允许看残疾人运动会的，原因是，残疾人生活已很不易，更不要说残疾人运动员，不是不喜看，是不忍看。影片挺感人的，但是我的关注点是影片立意是什么？是了不起的神奇妈妈，还是了不起的神奇小子，抑或是神奇小子的神奇妈妈，说实话，我没看懂。还有，到现在为止，残疾人的现状有没有解决？运动员和残疾运动“同薪同酬”是否有实现？
“你就比别人走的慢，但你可以比别跑的快”。努力对抗命运的不公，与家人朋友相互扶持。
另，从来没有觉得吴君如这么美过
你说妈妈呀 她很难 但是没有妈妈呀 他更难
其实煽情不是问题，问题是这电影没什么质感，整体都是走一种脱离现实的情绪氛围在推动剧情，这种拍法着实复古
演员选的真好，吴君如的妈妈数次让我泪崩，当了妈妈太能理解了，孩子生病是妈妈的责任……有种阿甘的感觉，只是多么不容易啊
二十年前麦兜故事之后，吴君如再次饰演奥运选手的母亲。
苏桦伟，苏炳添眼中的“苏神”。
其实是个很感人的故事，只是叙事方式怪怪的。
最感人的部分是“真人故事改编”，里面一些话由于过于鸡汤而褪去了真实感，阿伟的弟弟从出生的目的就带着悲剧色彩。其中有一幕很生气，苏妈对方教练的妹妹说：“这条路这么好走，你为什么不走。”，转头又对阿伟说“我想找个人以后帮你剪指甲啊”，话里话外这个女孩子就应该看上阿伟而且作用最大可能是剪指甲，和被生出来是为了照顾阿伟的弟弟一样。
苏桦伟三个演员选得都不错，有几场戏吴君如明显被比下去，反而有点表情僵硬，故事的话就普通操作，有原型人物支撑不会太脱离真实，比郑恺那部不知道好多少了。
吴君如很适合这种温情片。感觉弟弟有点可怜……从被生出来的动机到后面的对待都觉得有点可怜……
某時某刻閃現出舊時港片的一點味道，但電影除了實實在在的赤誠之外，竟然意外的也相當實誠，完全沒有美化任何一個人。
2.5星。国语配音严重劝退，吴君如不知道是不是动过脸了，特别像董明珠，表情不太自然。不刻意伟光正，展现了主人公和母亲作为普通人的一面，但硬加了很多bgm和滤镜大搞渲染把剧情捣碎了，真人真事拉回来点分
