Lauren K Didn't finish. Acting is poorly overdone. Characters aren't believable. Wouldn't watch if I was paid $1k. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Nicole S. the french knew what they were doing with this masterpiece Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review Vixo S I'm absolutely amazed. It's a movie that stands out for its incredible story and its complex yet realistic characters. The performances are one of its strongest aspects, as everything feels incredibly natural. It's so easy to empathize with the characters because the acting is so authentic, it truly feels like they are living these experencies. It's simply stunning. The direction is another remarkable highlight. The decision to use the 1:1 aspect ratio as a narrative choice is brilliant, and one of the most impactful moments in the film happens when this format changes. This isn't just a clever technical choice--it's a way for the director to capture truly special moments that evoke deep emotions, whether positive or negative. I also have to mention the music. The song choices are spectacular, especially the one during the end credits, which delivers a clear powerful message. In conclusion, Mommy is an absolutely must-watch film. It's been a long time since a story has surprised me this much, and I regret not having seen it sooner. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Ardi J 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Jeff S This might be the best Canadian movie of the decade. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/24 Full Review Alec B 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.
