Overview
One of the most lauded films of last year’s festival circuit and the winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes, Mommy is a masterpiece of melodrama from 26-year-old Quebecois wunderkind Xavier Dolan.
This is a movie you can’t afford to miss. An emotional roller coaster presented in 1:1 aspect ratio, the story follows a brassy single mother whose teenage son suffers from violent mood swings as well as ADHD. Anne Dorval and Antoine Olivier Pilon are both stunningly good, their performances positively glowing with uninhibited feeling. This is a funny, earnest, devastating film, one that's vitalised, rather than limited, by its intriguing technical conceit. Seriously, if this film doesn’t make you cry buckets, you flat out haven’t got a heart.
Mommy is in select cinemas on April 9, and thanks to Sharmill Films, we have ten double in-season passes to give away. To be in the running, subscribe to the Concrete Playground newsletter and then email us with your name and address.
