Reviewing for the Montreal Gazette, Brendan Kelly gives the film 3.5 of 5 stars, and writes:[5]
There are many reasons to see French writer-director Philippe Le Guay's Floride. In a movie world dominated by stories focused on young, beautiful people, this moving drama shines the light on one rather cranky 81-year-old man. That's one plus. It’s also a flick that will resonate with those of us who’ve spent serious time grappling with the challenges of helping out our aging parents. But the real reason you have to see Floride is for the masterful lead performance from 85-year-old actor Jean Rochefort.
