A very good movie

A month ago, I hadn’t seen anything from Xavier Dolan and, now, I have seen all the movies he has directed (thanks to a DVD box that my sister bought for me) and it has been a really rewarding journey. Indeed, with this directing effort, Xavier Dolan has delivered some of his best work so far. Seriously, the damned thing was a fascinating drama. Basically, the Canadian made a full circle and came back to a similar tale developed in his directing debut, ‘J'ai tué ma mère'. Indeed, it was again about the struggle between a (very) difficult teenager and his mother, except that the end-result was this time much stronger and I think I have never seen before a better representation of ADHD disorder. The other masterstroke was for Dolan to step aside this time and give the lead to Antoine-Olivier Pilon who was just fascinating in this movie. Then, to make this cast pretty much perfect, Dolan brought back his 2 muses, Anne Dorval and Suzanne Clément, who were fine as well, especially Dorval. To be honest, I wish they developed a little bit more what was going on between Suzanne Clément’s character and her family but it was the only minor flaw in this movie. Anyway, to conclude, I thought it was pretty awesome and I can’t wait to see his Xavier Dolan’s future work.
