I Killed My Mother (2010)

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Young director Xavier does an outstanding job with a cinematography, dialogue and acting. movie is great in my opinion, I felt protagonist's shoes and that's what matters the most, to experience life of someone else through the screen.Life is hard, and it can get harden when people we love or grew to love, don't understand us, when we can't find common ground to talk about things that we care about, to express our pain or our worries. for most of the people, including myself, that kind of person is our mom.well, what to say, I felt the discomfort, felt the love, and felt the pain that movie tried to show. truly amazing.

This film is about a teenage homosexual obsessed with his mother and their love/hate relationship. If the subject sounds specific - it is. Talented filmmakers make even the most specific stories interesting to the broader audience, but Xavier Dolan is not one of them. The film is a torture if you don't have interest in this very subject.The boy is narcissistic and annoying and the mother is unlikable too, so it's impossible to identify with them. Most of the time they yell at each other and their relationship is not very interesting at all.Only after I saw the movie I learned that the main actor is also the director and the screenwriter and he dominates the cover image too. At least he managed to accurately convey narcissism!

A reviewer was bit mislead with a product description telling about mother-son strangled relationship. Why for? Because such an affair is sadly very common between modern teens and their predecessors while computing advanced abilities to deploy innovative gadgets younger generations are usually better with to access volumes of information personal and for job performing surely. The story is trivial one. Separated couple's 16 y.o. offspring residues with a busy mother enjoying her free time in a company of emancipated like-one in modern French Canada, where sex is on a shelf as much as any other of produces demanded by a public. Whatever young male adult offers and suggests had been met with a superior ignorance of an older, wiser and experienced parent towards kid's blabbing. And willingness simply to highlight own sovereign place of OLDer is resulted in doing everything opposite the son offering. A very traditional inter-generation situation except a young male happened being same gender attracted forming relationship with a classmate. I did not get a title properly because hatred towards mother is regrettable ungrounded feeling of a young 20+y.o. man-"like-others" this DVD purchase was aiming his mother for, but I will think more after recent watching before presenting to.

"J'ai tue ma mere" seems a little rough around the edges and Xavier Dolan doesn't frame his shots so that they're picture perfect, but it seemed to suit the story. More to the point, what was happening inside the frame was much too interesting, and often moving, and I watched the movie in its entirety from beginning to end."J'ai tue ma mere" is the story of a gay teenager and his mother in a single-parent household. Man, do I know that territory well! I don't like the word "dysfunctional" - it's coined psycho-babble. The household depicted here is about as real as I've ever seen in a film. It functions as well as it can given the tight quarters mother and son share. They're continually sparring. Hubert, wary, entirely self-centred and quite the drama queen, goes on rants and tries to push his mother's buttons and test her love, but when he needs a favour, it's back to calling her "mommy". I loved her philosophical stoicism, an attitude she developed, I would guess, to protect herself from hurt, and I was touched by Hubert's back-pedalling when he thinks he's gone too far. Both sweet and raw, this is is a relationship of love. I smiled during the scene when mom brings up his homosexuality and he's caught off-guard. Actually, I smiled for a number of reasons, one of which was because, for once, Hubert was speechless.The film is open-ended, the way life is, and the way the young view life, far-reaching and full of possibilities. It's a lovely film - warm, frank and not without a little self-deprecating humour and genuine wit (the shot of the Virgin Mary, within a specific context). I was left with the feeling that this was a chapter in a life, a relationship, and I felt optimistic. Perhaps, one day, Xavier Dolan will continue the story on film. I look forward to it.
