okay drama about the relationship between mother and son. but it's clearly straining to be 'artsy', with its not-quite-realism often interrupted by fourth-wall soliloquy, fanciful montage, twinkling piano, serious slow-motion, poetry readings and poignant symbolism. it even has a silly metaphor for a title. the result is fairly jumbled and poorly edited. but its attempt at vigour also gives it a fresh feel. can definitely see why some are likening it to a film school project.

I like Xavier Dolan's energetic style and honest emotions. Always looking forward to watching his unapologetic youthfulness.
