I Killed My Mother's raw, blunt coming-of-age narrative marks an impressive debut for filmmaker Xavier Dolan.

As a director, Mr. Dolan has a freewheeling style, and he's self-dramatizing enough to want to call attention to it without being too much of a visual show-off. Mar 13, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

This just might be as close as we'll ever get to seeing "Catcher in the Rye" on the screen. Truly hilarious. Oct 31, 2012 | Full Review…

There's much to praise, especially the oh-so-real dialogue, but true psychological penetration is lacking and Dolan's hunger to prove his talent results in a superfluity of styles. Jul 6, 2010 | Full Review…

What makes it extraordinary is its depth of feeling, which Dolan's age makes all the more impressive: he was just 19 when he made this. Feb 5, 2010 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It's a strong debut from one of cinema's most exciting young talents, and the chance to finally see where it all started shouldn't be missed. Aug 6, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

I Killed My Mother is styled as cinema about cinema-Dolan wears his influences on his sleeve, from Jean-Luc Godard to Rimbaud. But this is ultimately a drama of flesh-and-blood relationships, not ideas. Jul 26, 2019 | Full Review…

The art of film is not there to soften the pain of abuse and cool the raging quarrels between mother and son. Exposing its ugliness and intensity is the very thing that allows for cathartic closure. May 20, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Wonderful performances, poignant story, light tone and nifty visuals add up to a smart art-house package. Should hold appeal well beyond the gay crowd. Mar 14, 2013 | Full Review…

For Dorval's acting alone, the film is a must-see. Add to that Dolan's own petulant performance, knowing eye for character detail, offbeat camera set-ups and assured direction, and the movie becomes a blissful character study. It's fabulous. Jul 15, 2012 | Full Review…
