Watch I Killed My Mother For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Just saw Mommy (2014) this week, and what a revelation! Great Canadian film by Montreal filmmaker Xavier Dolan, who was only 25 when he made at, and his since gone on to win the Cannes Grand Prix. My expectations weren't high since the only other film I had seen of his was Laurence Anyways, which was really, really long, and felt longer. A number of critics commented how Mommy was I Killed My Mother inverted, told from the perspective of the mother, so I was curious to check it out. Canada also submitted I Killed My Mother for the Foreign Language Oscar.A number of critics had commented Mommy showed Dolan had matured as a director, and I could understand why after seeing I Killed My Mother. It's OK, but it's not great filmmaking or particularly mature. The protagonist- played by Dolan himself- often struck me as a whining brat. There's often conflict between moms and sons, but whether it's significant enough to be a great film is another story- she's not the worst mom ever. One thing that did impress me was how different Anne Dorval is as the mother in both films- Dolan said he deliberately cast her as opposites, and he wasn't kidding! Shows she's a great actress, and it makes me wonder which character is closer to the real her. Unfortunately, despite its Grand Prix, It's Only the End of the World got panned, but Dolan's still young and likely has a future ahead of him.

Xavier Dolan's directorial debut talks about the relationship between a single mother and her gay son, and heavily draws experience from the director's personal relationship with his own mother. The semi-autobiographical nature of the film is apparent in the authenticity and raw emotion expressed between the characters like the frustration and endless friction that comes from a relationship like this. It is refreshing to see this topic being explored through the eyes of a young adult, whose thoughts and opinions on the matter are still fresh and unaltered by time and circumstances that life brings. Dolan is young enough to remember well the feelings of overwhelming frustration to the level of almost hate experienced by a teenager having to deal with a difficult and sometimes intolerable mom, and at the same time is old enough to portray this relationship with some maturity and understanding of the mother's point of view. The result is a movie that will hit home to many people that have lived with their single mom in their teen years. For them this movie could be seen as a portrait of the relentless, absurd cycle of fights and tantrums, that while they may have seemed unbearable at the time (the character says that whoever does not admit hating their mother at one point in their lives is lying), are now viewed with a more comedic spin as to how insignificant they would often be.

It's initially shocking to just know how old the director was when he made this film. If there are any other directors making films at such extraordinary young ages, I need to be reminded or informed because that to me is a true feat. The amount of psychological trauma and depth being handled here, and the exquisite writing really make this not just an excellent debut for a 20 year old, or an excellent debut, but just an overall excellent film. Definitely most similar to his most recent Mommy, this is a true psychological drama that very much plays out like some kind of horror story to many no doubt. The performances are excellent and it's highly recommended viewing.

A reviewer was bit mislead with a product description telling about mother-son strangled relationship. Why for? Because such an affair is sadly very common between modern teens and their predecessors while computing advanced abilities to deploy innovative gadgets younger generations are usually better with to access volumes of information personal and for job performing surely. The story is trivial one. Separated couple's 16 y.o. offspring residues with a busy mother enjoying her free time in a company of emancipated like-one in modern French Canada, where sex is on a shelf as much as any other of produces demanded by a public. Whatever young male adult offers and suggests had been met with a superior ignorance of an older, wiser and experienced parent towards kid's blabbing. And willingness simply to highlight own sovereign place of OLDer is resulted in doing everything opposite the son offering. A very traditional inter-generation situation except a young male happened being same gender attracted forming relationship with a classmate. I did not get a title properly because hatred towards mother is regrettable ungrounded feeling of a young 20+y.o. man-"like-others" this DVD purchase was aiming his mother for, but I will think more after recent watching before presenting to.
