Review of Mommy (2015) by Hotfromcauldron — 25 Jan 2015
A brutal depiction of a mentally challenged teenage boy from explosive tantrums to angelic clarity- Mommy is an emotional roller coaster ride driven by Xavier Dolan's deft direction.
When love is not enough- a mother's frustration for not easing her child's suffering- only exacerbates an already volatile relationship. Raw performances and claustrophobic camera work shine a much needed light on a broken system and a society's inadequacies in dealing with this probelm. For we are all trying to hold it together- yet, for some it is easier than for others.
