Dolan stars in his semi-autobiographical directorial debut, a movie about a concept he later perfected in Mommy: his love-hate relationship with his mother. The curious element is the film's title - if he'd truly killed his mother, this couldn't have been made, right? But the astonishing aspect, is how a 20-year-old newcomer incorporated stellar acting, wise camera angles and editing, and a perfect soundtrack, into a mature, professional film that rivals the career of many old-timers. Watch this and feel guilty about what you were doing when you were 20 years old.
PS: Thanks for the recommendation, Atoosa! Made me want to seek out Dolan's more recent Cannes winner, It's Only the End of the World.
