Liz Moody Empire Magazine Fantastic performances, sharp wit and a raw honesty breathe new life into the rites-of-passage drama. Rated: 4/5 Sep 17, 2018 Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) There's a warmth and detail to the way father, mother and son are depicted and explored. Sep 17, 2018 Full Review John Monaghan Detroit Free Press The French Canadian import is also wildly entertaining in its views of Catholicism, music and especially family. Rated: 3/4 Nov 10, 2006 Full Review Gregg Shapiro Bay Area Reporter 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. Rated: A- Jun 30, 2022 Full Review Jas Keimig The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 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... Dec 8, 2021 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter C.R.A.Z.Y. is a film of intelligence and integrity, with a great pop soundtrack. May 7, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Robert M 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review PridePosterStudios My heart will never not drop through my stomach every time I see père drop bébé. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/24/24 Full Review Audience Member This was one of the best movies I've ever seen, amazing everything. You have to watch the movie, fantastic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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). Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was awesome. Just sad it took me 14 years to find it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review phil v Okay, bold statement but probably my favourite film of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
