If you haven’t had the chance to see comedian Simon Gouache, know that he will be presenting his third show, Live, across Quebec this fall.

If you haven’t yet seen the summer blockbuster, Barbie is still showing in theaters. Barbie (Margot Robbie) sees her world turned upside down in Barbie Land, which forces her to go to real life. With his stereotypical partner Ken (Ryan Gosling), real life will fuel his disillusionment with a society led by men. “The Barbie world imagined by Gerwig is simply fantastic. The aesthetic is splendid, everything is beautiful, smooth… and pink! The ingenious attention to detail is its great strength. Everything that Barbie represents in this feature film is impeccably rendered thanks to the acting of Margot Robbie. The Australian bursts the screen. Above all, she makes this Barbie very endearing, as complex as she is apparently superficial, and ultimately gives great sensitivity to her plastic character,” explains journalist Marissa Groguhé in her review published on July 20.
