Rating: - Excellent Historical Drama about Nouvelle France
Unlike many of the reviewers on Amazon I came to the film with no expectations and was absorbed by the dramatic quality of the actors, both the leads and the rest of the cast. The trial of the mother, particularly the testimony of the servant and her father and the heroine's facial expressions was particularly compelling and the last minute "reveal" at the end of the film explained the mother's confession. For a show that made some efforts to have the native Indian language portrayed without subtitles, ... Read More

Rating: - Misleading!!
Do not judge this DVD by it's cover!! I bought this movie believing that it was predominantly about the Battle of Quebec and how it affected those within it's sphere. The title tells us that we will experience a "Battle of the Brave". The photos on the front and back let us know that we will be seeing scenes of epic battles and acts of bravery on fields of honer. Friends let me tell you - this film is the worst movie I have ever endured! I once had to sit through a showing of Tess with mt girlfriend and ... Read More

Rating: - Le Auful
Got this to help myself with the French and Indian war for visualization purposes. And I must say in all aspects it stinks. Last of the Mohicans is much much very much better when it comes to story and plot and set designs. Indeed it reminds me of GODS AND GENERALS in which the lost cause was the South's Defeat in the American Civil War except it is a better film and unlike the French Candians the South had better leaders and a great deal of style. Certainly Gods and Generals is a better bit of work in all ... Read More

Rating: - Wrong title, wrong expectations
The original version of this movie was titled "Nouvelle France". I do wonder sometimes who can came up with such a misleading title. The story, a battle of the spirit really, lacks cohesion and creates artificial drama. It seems the makers were not clear what to focus on - the love story or the historical events. However, I found the acting of the protagonists engaging and full of heart. If anything, the movie shows the erratic and often ego-driven decision making in human existence and its sad consequences.

Rating: - Whither Canada?
Despite decades of tax incentives, in terms of international visibility the Canadian film industry still lags behind most central African and Islamic states (surprisingly few Canadian films are released outside their native shores), and Nouvelle-France aka Battle of the Brave is another example of why. More than any other country, commercial Canadian cinema seems unable to develop an identity of its own and is stuck in pale imitation of other countries' failures. On paper this historical drama could look vaguely ... Read More
