Review
Ah Canada, America's neighbors of the North (unless you live in Alaska), the creators of hockey, the second largest country in the world, home of ten provinces and three territories from British Columbia to Quebec. There are Canadians known for film, such as James Cameron, Norman Jewison, Jim Carrey, David Cronenburg, and Mary Pickford (the last two listed I will cover in more detail in reviews in the future), so in light of Canada Day, I decided to review a few Canadian films, and Whispering City...is one of them. Filmed in Quebec City and with a limited cast, A fun fact is that Whispering City was filmed in English and in French. The film itself runs at about 90 minutes and it flows okay, not going on for too long in dialogue, and the actors don't do too bad, doing alright in a noir from the north. It is kind of a curious film to watch as it is easy to find and   the scenery isn't too bad, especially when Montmorency Falls is shown, a crucial part in the film. This is a decent well manner film that tries hard and manages to be a success in its own right, for all that is and all that it is worth, which I suppose makes sense.

Overall, I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
