The Monday Night Film Series presents "PEAK EVERYTHING", on January 26th Monday at 7:30pm at Tilley Hall, Room 102 at UNB. 

Peak Everything (French title, Amour Apocalypse) is an inventive and charming comedy-drama from director Anne Émond that blends modern anxiety and apocalyptic dread with a heartwarming love story. The film centers on Adam (Patrick Hivon), a kind-hearted, hypersensitive Montreal kennel owner grappling with severe eco-anxiety and depression. When he calls customer support for a faulty lamp, he connects with Tina (Piper Perabo), an Ontarian service rep with a warm voice. This instant connection sparks hope, leading Adam to embark on an adventurous, bilingual road trip to find her, even as the world around them seems to tremble with natural disasters. 

Critics have lauded this delightful film, which suggests there's no better time to open your heart than when the world seems on the cusp of collapse. The winsome pairing of Hivon and Perabo is a highlight, expertly balancing dry humor with heartfelt moments. The narrative is praised for its authenticity, stemming from Émond's personal experience with COVID-era depression. It is an engaging exploration of human connection as the most important thing, offering a vital and charming look at life, love, and finding hope amidst chaos. 

Patrick Hivon is consistently funny and relatable as the inept and put-upon Adam. Monica Reid, Far Out Magazine 

I think we all need to be reminded that what is really important in life is the people we love, the impact we can make on the lives of others, and the communities that we can invest in. Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com
