Mommy (2015)

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

One thing that struck me was the incredible attention to detail that Dolan possesses. As we learn about Dies financial problems and struggles with making ends meet one scene in particular backs up this statement. The nail polish bottles in the refrigerator. A thing that people who buy cheap nail polish is familiar with and such a beautiful use of mise-en-scene. The film works solely because of Dolans unique attention to detail and is a delight to watch because of it.

This film is just Xavier Dolan at its best. I don't even know where to start since this movie has a lot to be commented about. Firstly, I decided to watch the movie, after I almost gave up because I thought the movie file or my player software had a problem because the screen appeared squeezed and short-sized and I didn't know what was going on, then I kept watching it and I realized it was made on purpose by this fantastic young director, the screen wideness got wider or smaller trough the movie regarding the mood, the feelings or the situations in the plot. It was the first time I saw such approach in films, to be honest. Then, there is the actors performance, which is brilliant trough the whole movie, mainly the main actress' performance, but the performance of the main male actor is a standout to point too. This plot addresses some interesting points, such as a dysfunctional mom-son relationship ala Nornam Bates and his mother, a maladaptive behavior of a person with ADHD and its percussions to the people around him, simple themes as love, friendship. The whole movie is just filled with emotions. Not to mention the soundtrack of this film, it is indeed proper for the scenes, well chosen and great. I certainly hope to see more of these cinema art pieces from this director.

This is a story about a mother, Diane, and her son, Steve. Diane is a single mother, and Steve has a handicap and often uses violence. Steve loves his mother very much, but he is awkward. One day, Steve is thrown out his facility, so Diane starts to live with his son in the country. Also, Diane becomes friends with Kyla, who lives across the street. However, the life is poor because Diane can't work very much and must pay the cost of treatment of the man who Steve injures. This movie is sad and painful. Steve only wants his mother to be glad, but he bothers her. Steve is very cute. I want to watch again when I become the mother. Also, this movie is a camera-work and the mood only the director is capable of. You will have a strange feeling after you watch this movie.

Well I'm a fan anyway. As a gay man I have always loved his voice, so young and so fresh what's not to like?No gay content here but human drama and real people in real life trying to get through. The boy isn't always likable but his charisma shines through and u cant help but grin at his awful antics. And in the end its totally about them all, all 3 of them each has a presence and a character and a story.In this movie, for me its that scene, the future forward one towards the end. I didn't see it coming and I didn't realise it had come until the final scenes, Rewind and watch it again after you've seen the end. What beauty, cinema and music and actors,the poignancy of lives, life, people, what we have and what we hope for. I cried and cried. Profoundly moved. What more could I ask for in a movie?
