In a fictional Canada, where a new law allows distressed parents to abandon troubles children to the hospital system, Die Despres, a feisty widow, tries to cope with Steve, her wild yet charming ADHD son. While they both try to make ends meet and live under the same roof, Kyla, a mysterious neighbor, offers her help. As Kyla's heartwarming presence becomes increasingly intense, questions emerge about her own mysterious life, and the way her destiny may ultimately be linked to that of Steve and Die. Canada’s young established director, Xavier Dolan has done it again. Mommy is very similar to his previous film, Laurence Anyways(2012) which was highly praised by critics and audience a few years ago. They are both deeply emotional films, funny yet heartbreaking. His meticulous and sensitive direction and incredibly sympathizable characters make audience drawn to his films from the beginning to the end. Once again, it is surprising that he is only in his twenties. (Dosin PAK)
