J'ai Tué Ma Mère plot

"Sons forget their mothers can die."

Hubert Minel hates his mother. For sixteen years he regarded with contempt only the filthy sweaters she wore and the breadcrumbs in the corners of her mouth when she ate loudly. Besides these things, he also sees something positive in her. Confused by their relationship with love and hate, Hubert goes through some adolescent experiences.

It didn't do much for me. The acting of Xavier Dolan sometimes felt a bit too thick. The storyline interests me, but the emotions didn't really sink in. Mommy did much more for me. I also like the son in that movie a nicer person. Beautiful images and colors, I think Suzanne Clément is a beautiful woman and her role did me the most in this film, but the whole thing made little impression on me. Unfortunately! A 6. 3*

I have a cunt bond with my mother and I am a teenager, now what? Otherwise I will make an intense hard moving recognizable film that touches where it hurts and anoints where it is necessary, yes let's do that once we'll see where we end up, that it is a bit uneven here and there that shouldn't be allowed anyway matter because yes I am a teenager. Of course I make sure that top actresses participate, starting with the most important role that of the mother herself. In addition, I show that I can safely not only make the film, but also play the role of the son with brilliance. Of course I arrange the soundtrack myself because yes, I already have such an arsenal of songs that I make sure that they fit perfectly with the moments I want to create, be it as mere support or as a crucial element in a scene. I still throw in homosexuality but nowhere in a way that it distracts attention from the rest, no no I fit it naturally into the rest of the story, did I have everyone in the right place seg when they thought there was a standard romantic story came with a favorite professor, also a wife-in-law. We also elevate yelling at each other to an art for the first time (some five years later I will only really perfect it with my other masterpiece Mommy, but hey, details). The camera work, yes, I'll add that too, here and there original editing, a few close-ups that contain a lot and you've come quite far. Ah yes, a great voice over in which I briefly summarize certain things, that should definitely be included. I'm throwing it all in so that it might already come off as chaotic and a lot at a time but hey it's my movie and I choose how it's all going to happen here, in the juicy Québécois of course, fuck, excuse tabernak quoi.

I thought it was just pretty good, pretty great, pretty great. Xavier Dolan thou valiant bazeke.

Nicely made by the young Dolan, but in my opinion the story was a bit too dramatic in terms of drama, so it didn't quite grab me.
