The French Canadian import is also wildly entertaining in its views of Catholicism, music and especially family. Go to Full Review Joe Lipsett The Queer Gaze (Podcast) Jul 10
4.5/5
Jean-Marc Vallée's 70s-set coming of age/coming out film is visually stunning, filled with specifically chosen needle drops that nearly turn the movie into a musical, and anchored by a fantastic lead performance by Marc-André Grondin. Go to Full Review Gregg Shapiro Bay Area Reporter 06/30/2022
A-
Set, as it is, during the especially turbulent 1960s and 1970s, and continuing into the 1980s, C.R.A.Z.Y. does an exceptional job of capturing the zeitgeist of those periods. Go to Full Review Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 12/08/2021
Told over the course of three decades with big familial moments set around Christmas, the film also includes a lot of music from each era, thanks to director Jean-Marc Vallée... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert M 10/04/2024 This film goes far beyond the "coming of age" that many describe. It shows perfectly imperfect human beings who have to confront their imperfections. It's a film that, in my opinion, is fundamentally about the notion of forgiveness, which is so essential in this imperfect world.

See more 09/22/2022 This was one of the best movies I've ever seen, amazing everything. You have to watch the movie, fantastic. See more 12/27/2020 Been waiting for years to see Jean-Marc Vallee's ("Wild" "Dallas Buyer's Club" "Big Little Lies") breakthrough, and aside from feinting and soft-peddling the gay subplot, it turned out to be a beautifully drawn portrait of fathers, sons and brothers, and coming of age in the 70's and early 80's. Definitely worth it (and strangely, an appropriate Christmas movie). See more 06/30/2019 This movie was awesome. Just sad it took me 14 years to find it.
