About this movie

Winner of the Cannes Jury Prize, Mommy is a deeply personal portrait of adolescence and motherhood from modern cinema's most prodigious young talent, Xavier Dolan. When 15 year-old Steve is thrown out of a juvenile centre, his single mother Diane takes on the daunting task of home schooling her troubled son. Struggling to make ends meet and rocked by Steve's livewire temperament, a shy, reclusive neighbour may prove to be the duo's unlikely saviour. 2014 9277-5311 Québec inc.

Ratings and reviews

First time I'd watched an Xavier Dolan film and I was not disappointed. Gripping stuff from start to finish!

Fantastic film. Beautiful colour palette, top-notch performances and a lot of heart.
