A fresh wave is coming to Quebec cinema with a unique sports comedy poised to redefine the genre.This film marks a significant moment as the province’s first female-led sports comedy, promising a compelling narrative adn a stellar cast.
The story centers around a resolute female hockey player who boldly decides to create a secret roller derby team. It’s a premise brimming with potential for both heartwarming moments and laugh-out-loud comedy.
Gabrielle Côté,known for her work in STAT and Le plongeur,penned the screenplay. Mélanie Charbonneau, the director behind Fabuleuses, brings her vision to life. I’ve found that a strong script combined with a skilled director is a recipe for success, and this project certainly has both.
The ensemble cast is impressive, featuring Anne-Élisabeth Bossé, France Castel, Debbie Lynch-White, Nathalie Doummar, and Antoine Bertrand. Here’s what works best when assembling a cast: a blend of established talent and rising stars. This film appears to have achieved that balance.

Genre-bending: It’s not just a sports movie; it’s a comedy, and it’s specifically focused on a female perspective.
Unique premise: A roller derby team formed in secret offers a fresh and exciting storyline.
