Remember when The Hollywood Reporter called Xavier Dolan narcissistic and he told them to kiss his narcissistic ass.

I'm always going to fall for an ending that spurs post-film continuity.

Xavier Dolan is at his most unique as he channels Ingmar Bergman in this mysterious and engrossing thriller.
