The plotting is wayward and haphazard but the film is made and performed with such frankness and emotional intensity that its occasional stumbles never seem a problem. March 20, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

As outrageous as it is insightful, Mommy is a mother-and-son melodrama taken to operatic heights. March 20, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

This is easily Dolan's best film, and it's exciting to think how many times we might have to revise that statement over the years to come. March 19, 2015 | Rating: 5/5

I suppose the relationship is Oedipal or primal or something or other, but mostly it's just an excuse for Dolan to stage a series of gaudy shout-fests. February 20, 2015 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

A few false endings weaken Mommy's power and Pilon can annoy as much as he entertains at times, but the technicolour energy present onscreen is one of the most electrifying things this year. May 31, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

Dolan is a director who thinks hard about the possibilities of cinema and explores them with verve and ingenuity, but it is in his latest film that everything has come together. April 4, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…

It's overwhelming, powerful, and bracingly sincere, though my initial reaction was that turning down the dials a bit (it's 139 minutes of fierce family drama) may have served it well. March 19, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
