Wolfgang G Sag nicht, wer du bist! (Originaltitel: Tom à la ferme) ist ein Thriller von Xavier Dolan (Drehbuch, Regie und Hauptdarsteller)... Ein trauernder Mann lernt die Familie seines verstorbenen Liebhabers kennen, die von der sexuellen Ausrichtung ihres Sohnes nichts wusste… Xavier Dolan beweist in "Tom à la ferme" sein filmisches Talent in der Art von Hitchcock (Sohn und Mutter Verhältnis) …ein in Nah- und Großaufnahmen gestellter perfekter Psychothriller… angespannt und zugleich klaustrophobisch inszeniert… Vier Sterne. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/02/24 Full Review Dave S Canadian wunderkind Xavier Dolan was only in his mid-twenties when he directed, wrote, produced, edited and starred in (and probably provided the catering) Tom at the Farm, an odd but eerily effective psychological thriller. Tom (Dolan) travels from Montreal to a farm in rural Quebec to attend the funeral of his male partner. After meeting his lover's mother and brother, the dynamics take on a sinister angle when he decides to remain on the farm to help in its operation. As Dolan would go on the prove in later films, he certainly has an eye for images, an ear for dialogue and a sense for interesting characters. If there is a problem with Tom at the Farm, it might be the fact that the audience needs to know more about the characters. For example, what exactly motivates Tom's female friend to come to the farm to pretend she was the deceased's girlfriend? Why would the mother be devastated if she found out her son was gay? And that is only the start of the questions. Otherwise, it is a sound film throughout and foreshadows some of the greatness from Dolan that was to follow. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Tom is a painful movie...and you never escape the secrets, violence and depression of what happened. Tom visits his ex's farm and finds a brother that is violent and a mom on the brink of the loony bin.

This gave me a huge expectation on this film. He also starred in the lead role. But, totally disappointed me. It failed to engage me completely into the movie. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/21 Full Review Audience Member "Tom at the farm" is a torture, but for all the wrong reasons. Seeing for one hour the fake wig over Dolan's head is only a joke compared to his pitiful acting in one of the most pretentious and boring films I've seen in my lifetime.
