Québecois sous-titré français

Vampire humaniste cherche suicidaire consentant (distributed in English as "Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person" or "Humanist Vampire Too Sensitive to Kill") is about a teenaged vampire who refuses to kill humans whose family cuts her off. Fortunately she runs into a suicidal teenager. They go on a roadtrip to get him revenge before sunrise.

It nails teenage awkwardness and is also quite funny and moving, as well as cathartic in parts. The Québécois accents add a certain je ne sais quoi (and the French [1] subtitles were a nice addition, even if they cut out the (occasional) swearing).

[1] Think of Québecois and France French as two different but mostly intelligible languages.

The only Québecois I know is swearing, courtesy of Bon Cop Bad Cop.

Did the France French subs not know what to do with the sacres?

The best I've ever felt understanding French is someone from Montreal trying to talk to someone from Paris, where they both have to slow down in regard for each other's dialects.
