Characters aren't believable. Wouldn't watch if I was paid $1k.

It stands out for its incredible story and its complex yet deeply human characters. The performances are one of its greatest strengths, because everything feels natural and authentic, making it easy to empathize with what the characters are going through. The direction is also remarkable. The use of the 1:1 aspect ratio is not just a visual choice, but a powerful narrative tool, especially in the moment when the frame changes and the emotion becomes even stronger. It is one of those technical decisions that truly adds meaning to the story. The music also deserves praise, with song choices that perfectly capture the film’s emotional intensity, especially during the ending. Mommy is a stunning and unforgettable film, and I regret not having watched it sooner. See more Ardi J @RT18626558 03/06/2025 A film I watched in 2020 on a rainy midnight. I was completely immersed in it… and I cried. An epic film by Xavier Dolan, created when he was just 23 years old. This is an extraordinary masterpiece. If anyone asks me, 'What is the best film?'—this is my answer! I say it with pride. See more Alec B @AlecMichaelB 11/11/2023 In Xavier Dolan's "Mommy," the audacious Canadian director unleashes a cinematic tour de force that transcends conventional storytelling. Filmed with an electrifying intensity, Dolan's use of a 1:1 aspect ratio, a square frame that heightens the emotional immediacy of each scene, is nothing short of revolutionary. The film explores the intimate relationship between a widowed mother (Anne Dorval) and her volatile son (Antoine-Olivier Pilon). Dolan's direction, coupled with the unfiltered "joual" Québécois dialect, immerses the audience into the lesser-known world of Quebec's working-class neighborhoods. The film's emotional depth is staggering, propelled by powerful performances and a pulsating soundtrack that underscores the tumultuous journey of its characters. "Mommy" is an unapologetically visceral exploration of familial bonds, beautifully captured through Dolan's distinctive visual and narrative stylings, making it a poignant and unforgettable cinematic experience.
