The cinematic frame might have contracted, but there's a kind of ferocious compassion in Dolan's vision, and its embrace is startlingly wide. Apr 9, 2015 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Dolan loves close-ups and he gives his actors every chance to demonstrate their talent for ringing the emotional changes in a single take. Apr 9, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

As outrageous as it is insightful, Mommy is a mother-and-son melodrama taken to operatic heights. Mar 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. Mar 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. Feb 20, 2015 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

A story of the combative relationship between a mother and her son filled with delirious swells of effusive love and sudden plummets into madness and hate. Feb 12, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/4

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. Apr 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. Mar 19, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

This film kept surpassing my expectations by keeping its focus on [Anne Dorval's Diane] and not the one who would be the main character of any other film: her at turns charismatic, obnoxious and violent 15-year-old, blonde son, Steve. Mar 8, 2019 | Full Review…

Dolan's weakness is that beneath the razzamatazz, he's saddled himself with a straightforward narrative, thus his artillery merely serves the purpose of hammering home subtext Nov 10, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

... for some this film will be drama with a capital D and a little too much but for me it epitomises what film making truly is: storytelling, imagery and engaging the viewer's heart and mind from start to finish. Aug 21, 2018 | Full Review…

All three of the leads do excellent work, but Anne Dorval is especially stunning. I won't resort to the cliché "larger than life" to describe her performance, because nothing is larger than life in Mommy - except for life itself. Jan 11, 2018 | Full Review…
