This is my favorite film by Dolan. It is just a sad love story is what it is. I am so grateful for this representation of trans lesbians (trans women who still are into women as the common belief is that they switch to men duh) and also we get to see partners side of the story. Film is very poetic and metaphorical and the music is fitting as a glove.

¿El amor tiene límites? Parece que no y de verdad que no, lo que sucede es que uno ama a la persona o lo que nos gusta de nuestra persona reflejada en la otra, vaya como brotaba por los ojos el fervor de Fred y la ternura de Laurence, es como los efectos de la droga, Fred era el pico, la euforia y Laurence el valle, la paz que solo se puede alcanzar con la persona amada, como una adicción o vivir con una, los adictos siempre serán adictos pero aprenden a vivir con ello, así Laurence va por la vida.

Simply stunning, deep and breathtaking, this movie contains all of the best Dolan's trademarks, especially for the use of the cinematography and the soundtrack, and is by far his most complex and ambitious work. It's quite impressive that he wrote and directed this beauty before being 23 years old, and I don't know if he could ever surpass himself in another work because Laurence Anyways still stood up in all of his body of work. Don't miss it.

It feels like someone's idea of what we looked in the late 80's early 90's. But most of the clothing and the smoking makes it more early 80's. The apartments are overly charged with stuff. The lightening is weird and it's way too long.

Dolan's latest feature, the French language Laurence Anyways (2nd film of him I have watched) proves this is a filmmaker able to breathe cinematic origination and charm into every frame. Passionately created and perfectly acted movie, but sometimes movie is felt streched..that makes the movie a bit longer than it should be..even though finally it succeeded perfectly. Btw ending is great. Recommended to anyone.

The film is dramatic due to the extremely difficult situation that the characters have to face in a society with limited views. I would have given a grade of 10 if the dialogues had been more coherent and deeper and if the directorial vision had not been so "artistic".

This is one of the most impressed movies that I've ever seen. This movie is about a couple, Laurence and Fred, who love each other and have been together for long time. One day, Laurence opens his heart to her that he wants to be woman. Fred confuses and thinks about their future. Then, Fred decides she becomes Laurence's best friend and she teaches him how to make up, but they are troubled by prejudices of the society. Also, the mood of this movie and camera-work are fresh. Many colors are used and music invites us into story, so we can't be bored in spite of complex story. The director of this movie, Xavier Dolan, became my favorite one after I watched this movie, and this is the most favorite one of his movies. Therefore, I want everyone to see this. I recommend very much, but you will be tired a little because you are dragged very much.

With this film, Xavier Dolan confirms his excellent style. The starring is incredibly well-chosen (distinction for the actress). A photography without mistake, there are numbers of beautiful shots. And too a good soundtrack, that is very eclectic (french's or qubecois's songs, classical's songs as Brahm or Bethoveen, or rock ballads), and first and foremost an original screenplay. In fact, I found the plot very interesting because I don't know film about the transsexualism. For a discovery, we can't dream a better movie. So, check out his film (Les amours imaginaires, J'ai tué ma mère are too to discover). A young film maker watch this space. The Quebecois's cinema too.
