Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes, and Canada’s official submission for the Foreign Language Film Oscar, this passionate and stylistically bold drama stars Anne Dorval as Die, a single mom burdened with the full-time custody of her troubled 15-year-old Steve (Antoine Olivier Pilon), who is ADHD and more than a handful, even for the institutions he’s already served time in. As they struggle to make ends meet, Kyla (Suzanne Clément), their strangely withdrawn new neighbor, offers her help, and they face the world together as a trio. The film’s dynamic style includes changes in the screen’s shape and size. In French with English subtitles. Writer/Director: Xavier Dolan. (Canada 2014) 140 min.
