Xenia.SrApril 27, 2025The story begins with a mother-son dynamic that gradually unveils the inner conflicts, struggles, and turmoil of adolescence. The stunning cinematography and evocative soundtrack perfectly capture the characters' inner worlds. Xavier Dolan was only 20 when he wrote, directed, and starred in this film—and not only is he remarkably handsome, but he's also incredibly talented!

Timeless Tales BWApril 27, 2025It’s said that this semi-autobiographical script was written when Xavier Dolan was just 16. The visuals are gorgeous, the acting spot-on, and he’s not only handsome with a killer hairstyle and impeccable style, but he also wrote, directed, and starred in it all by himself! Seriously, how did he pull that off? Amazing!

lexieeFebruary 17, 2024It's about releasing, recovering, releasing, and pursuing. Being just one person at a time can be quite challenging. The visual approach is poetic, featuring a documentary effect that blends vacation memories and intimate moments, delving into their profound meanings. This was the movie that made me pay attention to Dolan's work. Impeccable.
