  literally the only bad thing about this is having to tell locals that my favorite film is called "mommy"

  "Born to Die," like...
  born to Die,
  like Die, the character.
  he was born to her;
  he is her son. 
  get it? get it!?

  This is hardly going to be a review, because I don't think that I could ever review a film so deeply intertwined with my own life, so personal that it would be impossible to compare it to any other film. The behavioral problems, the treatment facilities, the absence of a father, the undying love of a mother; it's all a bit too intimate for me to even attempt to look at from an objective standpoint (not that objectivity is ever something to be associated with cinema, haha). So here's my warning: what you're about to read is going to be more of a diary entry than a review, and if I'm going to be honest, it's because I need it.…

  i think the scene that ultimately made this my Favorite Movie Ever was steve’s first morning home; how die doesn’t knock but claims she did; how she pulls out the makeshift curtain he pinned the day before; how she picks up all his used tissues and makes him take off his underwear, all while having an argument that’s loud but unsurprisingly unorthodox; routine, almost. the two of them are such strong personalities you wouldn’t expect their relationship to work, but somehow, it does - their idiosyncrasies are in sync; their messy attempts at affection mesh together.

  i also love how a lot of xavier dolan's films are centered on complicated relationships with mothers, as if he’s trying to say something…

  Sometimes I watch a movie and from the first few minutes can tell it's going to be some shit that I'll love. This was one of them. Matter fact, just by looking at the poster and knowing the synopsis, I knew this would be up my alley. Within the first few minutes you know how this film is going to look, how it's going to sound, how it's going to feel, and this tone stays beautifully consistent throughout the duration, gradually intensifying into one satisfying ass ending. I loved 'Mommy' a lot if you can't tell. Each scene is perfectly crafted and uses every aspect of filmmaking in such exciting ways. I am so happy I ended my 100 Summer Movies with this one.

  TIME TO RANK
