This is the film debut of award winning

This is the film debut of award winning international director Xavier Dolan and one of the most complex and honest portrayals of a contentious parent/child relationship that I have seen. Apparently Dolan wrote the semi-autobiographical screenplay when he was 16, which explains the authenticity of the words as well as the frustrating lack of communication between a mother and son who simultaneously are unable to love and unable NOT to love each other. Both Dolan and Dorval are sensational here, each of them beautifully conveying the contradictions of their characters and each alternately receiving our condemnation and our empathy. My only minor quibble is a subplot involving one of Dolan's school teachers. Though well played by Suzanne Clement, I could never figure out whether her intentions were wholly noble or somewhat predatory - perhaps both. I really loved this movie and consider it as yet another example of foreign films more willing to take chances and dive into subject matter that most American movies don't or won't touch.

El director es muy bueno, llevado a la

El director es muy bueno, llevado a la pantalla grande los problemas maternales, al igual que "mommy" esta película narra los problemas de un chico con su madre. Siento que este fue el prototipo para mommy del 2014. Me encanto las escenas improvisadas, la trama tan dolorosa por el hijo al no saber como hacer para amar a su madre, y la madre no saber como amarlo. Las metáforas dextro de la cinta son tan visibles y tan tristes que te llegas a identificar. Las actuaciones improvisadas, en sí toda la película lo es, se siente tan casera que por eso la aclaman demasiado, por ende no tiene mucha producción, es tan inquietante la historia que quisieras meterte en ella y ayudar a los personajes.

French coming of age film that centers on

French coming of age film that centers on a young man's relationship with his over bearing mother. I didn't personally identify, but it was decent storytelling.
