Fail to Appear is a 2017 Canadian independent drama film directed by Antoine Bourges in his feature film directorial debut.[1] The film stars Deragh Campbell as Isolde, a social services caseworker trying to assist Eric (Nathan Roder), a man who is about to face a criminal trial on charges of theft.[2]
The film premiered at the 2017 Vancouver International Film Festival.
Marsha Lederman of The Globe and Mail describe the film as "an utterly watchable piece of experimental Canadian film",[1] and the publication ranked it one of the top 10 best Canadian films of the year.[3] Norman Wilner of Now called it "formally rigorous but surprisingly moving".[4]
The film received three award nominations from the Vancouver Film Critics Circle, for Best Canadian Film, Best Actress in a Canadian Film (Campbell), and Best Supporting Actor in a Canadian Film (Roder).[5]
