Less of a journey/more compact Dolan but just as compelling as the rest of his filmography; a powerful investigation of familial dysfunction and the inability to communicate in the face of stressful or foreign situations. With that being said, I'm honestly surprised that this family didn't start chopping up and cannabilizing one another. MVP: Vincent Cassel.

Congrats to Xavier Dolan, who at 27 has already reached the "let's look back fondly on his older work" stage of his career.

oh boy. i remember disliking this a lot when I first watched it last February, thinking it was empty melodrama; not anymore
most of dolan's other films seem to have a raw vulnerability in them, but here everyone is (mostly) guarded and it's only in moments of solitude and in small details that we may catch glimpses of how they feel. its hard to warm up to these characters the same way we might for laurence alia or diane després, but when nathalie baye's character tells louis that she loves him we know she really does mean it.
when louis tries to speak of antoine and his own childhood all he holds on to are memories; twelve years change too…

Probably not a good movie, but certainly a spectacular one, genuinely experimental in terms of composition and lighting, a stacked cast, authentically cinematic, totally bonkers narcissism and petulance. A young person’s old person movie. Ignore the star rating, really, this time.

Wes Anderson did this better with The Royal Tenenbaums.
This movie is terrible, just terrible.
I don't understand how could you make a negative review of a movie like Darkest Hour saying it's just old white men screaming at each other, and then write a positive review of this when it's basically just French white people screaming frantically at each other.
At least Gary Oldman as Churchill was more entertaining than bitter old Cassel who's the shittiest brother in the world.
The funniest thing about it, it's the very fact that it tries so hard to make sense but it fails miserably. The lack of coherence, substance and eloquence this movie has is astonishing.
And also staggering it's how Dolan managed to fuck up such a good cast with such shlock of a movie.
His worst work so far, undoubtedly. -
