i killed my mother (xavier dolan)

shout shout shout this mother and son shout all the time!! they encapsulate very well the frustration and passion of the main character's teenage years. my favourite character was the mom, by far the most complex and at times difficult to understand. enjoyable film, but not flawless. i loved the dreamy shots, and the piano music, but the comparison with his boyfriend's perfect happy family was a bit too simplistic for me, and scenes like when he was beaten up seemed a bit random and left unexplored. good thing the fact he was homosexual wasn't an issue, though, that always gets extra points.
