Plot Synopsis
With his first feature, Xavier Dolan has delivered the most talked-about directorial debuts of 2009.
Hubert Minel doesn't love his mother. He bickers constantly with her about anything and everything, from the trivial to the profound. He is repulsed by her tacky sweaters, kitsch decorations and the breadcrumbs that get stuck on the corner of her lips when she munches. Their arguments are alternately hilarious and horrifying, reflecting a truth about human relationships that any viewer can recognise. Their fights escalate until mom hatches a toxic plan: Hubert will be shipped off to boarding school. Combining assured writing, a confident directorial style and an acute sense of the comic, Dolan's arrival on the big screen is an achievement that can't be ignored.
