Review: I Killed My Mother/J'ai tué ma mère 9*/10
Largely autobiographical, the film details the intensely volatile relationship between a gay 16-year-old, Hubert (Dolan), and his mother, Chantale (Anne Dorval). The film builds through a series of richly hysterical conflicts that find these two characters exceedingly incapable of living with or without one another. Perhaps a viciously honest love story more than anything else, I Killed My Mother gives us an acute and compassionate portrayal of both sides of this complex human interaction.
Dolan stars as a Montreal teen whose relationship with his mother redefines "troubled" the young hyphenate a natural in front of the camera and a little over-excited behind it.
Seen at the Toronto International Film Festival.
