## Description

Product Description          Focusing on the relationship between Hubert Minel (Xavier Dolan), a 16-year-old Quebecois living in suburban Montreal, and his single mother Chantale (Anne Dorval), I KILLED MY MOTHER beautifully captures the anxieties of a mother-son relationship. While he gauges her with contempt, only seeing her out-of-date sweater and kitschy decor, the ingrained mechanisms (i.e. manipulation and guilt) of their relationship beautifully (and tragically) unravel on the big screen. After it's 2009 debut, I KILLED MY MOTHER was nominated for dozens of international film festival awards, and quickly became an international sensation; launching Dolan's career in the international film scene. But in the US, the film was never released: until now.             Review          'I Killed My Mother' is a startlingly accomplished first feature, written and directed by Xavier Dolan, now 21, who stars as a willful, tantrum-throwing teenager discovering his homosexuality while locked in battle with his divorced, controlling mother. Through most of the film, you see the high-pitched fury of their relationship, but there are moments of desperate clinging that reveal a passionate symbiosis below the rage. --Stephen Holden, The New York TimesThis just might be as close as we'll ever get to seeing 'Catcher in the Rye' on the screen. Truly hilarious. --Brandon Judell, indieWIREA genuine crowd-pleaser! --Jay Weissberg, Variety

    Fantastic
  

*by D***K on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020*

This is certainly one of the best films I have ever seen. It is French Canadian and has won multiple awards. It is written, directed and produced by Xavier Dolan with the help of a grant from the government of Quebec. This was Mr. Dolan's first film. Apparently he wrote the screenplay at age 16 and was 20 when he did the film. The film deals with the extremely troubled but nonetheless loving relationship between a single mother and her teen. It is in French with English subtitles.  The screenplay is one of the best I have seen and I wish I was fluent in French. Xavier Dolan and Anne Dorval are mesmerizing as Hubert and his mother Chantale. One can deeply sympathize with both characters in their efforts to overcome their pathological relationship. The cinematography is very artistic and original. The musical score is great and ends with a beautiful French song. The movie is absolutely captivating from beginning to end. Mr. Dolan has gone on to write, direct and produce multiple award winning films. Vive les Quebecois!

"I Killed My Mother", Xavier Dolan's debut feature film is a MUST SEE!!High School Student Huber (Xavier Dolan) tumultuous relationship with his mother (Anne Durval), engaging relationship with his boyfriend (Francois Arnaud), and the frustration of expression at 16 years old creates an authentic masterpiece! This film is an absolute amazing work of art.

    You should watch this to know how the phenomenon called Dolan started
  

*by K***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2016*

I discovered Dolan with Mommy. I then went back and watched his other movies. I like this one, the first one, in particular. Not so much because of its style (which is already quite distinct and attractive), but for the way the story is told. The way the incomprehension between a mother and an adolescent is portrayed. Even though the mother appears cruel at times, we can feel her desperation and her love for her child. The teenage romance is portrayed very poetically. It is a powerful movie, well narrated and well played by Anne Dorval and Xavier Dolan himself.
