      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Matthias and Maxime enchants almost as much as it frustrates, although Xavier Dolan fans may appreciate seeing the writer-director working at a more restrained pitch.

      Andrea-Wilhelmine S It's a fresh new take on the classic "don't really know where I'm going with this" movie. But don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy Matthias & Maxine. Although it is told fast and some of it is confusing, then the story is beautiful and the movie has beautiful pictures and characters in it. The confusion of the two young men is so human and it makes me think of other young love series and movies - such as HBO's depiction of Conversations with Friends. But in contrast to that, this actually feels real, human and beautiful. I would recommend this movie :) But if you know you don't like an open ending then you will get disappointed ('Cause I hated that, probably because im a sucker for a happy ending) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review Hazel G Its a Masterpiece in my opinion... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/22 Full Review Mike J Sonic is a movie movie theater movie theaters Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/28/22 Full Review carli m Sensitive acting and one of the most beautiful love scenes I've seen in film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Real and beautiful. It shows the pain of growing up gay perfectly. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review andy n Incredibly slow! I watched on rewind, I liked only the second kiss of the main characters, with its sincerity and innocence .... But almost the rest of the film, what is it about?!!! insanely long boring dialogues with almost no connection to the plot! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Dave Calhoun Time Out If the overall effect is a little basic and under-worked, this is still a heartfelt, honest film. Rated: 3/5 Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Jason Shawhan AV Club This is a film with big emotions and swoon-worthy wet hair moments, and it finds unexpected places in the subconscious to settle. Rated: B+ Aug 31, 2020 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Ultimately, the revelation here is not so much Dolan's more contemplative approach to film-making, but the subtlety and sensitivity of his performance. Rated: 4/5 Aug 30, 2020 Full Review Fernando E. Juan Lima EscribiendoCine The shouting, the screaming music, the supposedly poetic moments, and the slow-motion shots seem almost a caricature of what Dolan knew to do (or seem to know how to do) in the past. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/10 Jun 27, 2023 Full Review David Reddish Queerty Dolans usual themes of internalized homophobia, hypermasculinity, closet case lusting andin particularrage against mother figures abound, as do individual scenes of intense visual beauty and powerful acting. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 20, 2022 Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens Fans of Dolan will enjoy his return in front of the camera, but I doubt it will win him any new admirers.
