Nederlands:
Diane, een alleenstaande moeder, probeert haar opstandige 16-jarige zoon weer op de rails te krijgen. Steve kan heel lief en charmant zijn maar op andere momenten uiterst druk en impulsief. Diane kan Steve’s stemmingen maar moeilijk onder controle krijgen maar wil hem koste wat het kost thuis opvoeden en uit handen van de overheid houden. Als bij Diana het water aan haar lippen staat, maakt ze kennis met Kyla, haar schuchtere buurvrouw. Er ontstaat een intense vriendschap tussen moeder, zoon en buurvrouw waar ze alle drie sterker van worden.



English:
Québec, 2015. The new law allows the parents of problem children to commit them to a hospital if the situation at home becomes untenable. The son of Diane “Die” Després, 16-year-old Steve, is a violently hyperactive boy with ADHD, but she wants to remove him from his hospital detention. This fifth feature by wunderkind Xavier Dolan is as dazzling as it is wrenching, and it is anything but an ordinary film. From its tremendous success – a Jury Prize at Cannes, Canada’s Oscar short-list representative, widespread critical and popular acclaim – to the strong emotions it never fails to spark, to the incredibly intense performances of Anne Dorval, Suzanne Clément and Antoine Olivier Pilon and the film’s unique 1.1 aspect ratio, this is truly an exceptional work. A timeless moment of magic that restores the cinema to its rightful place as the freest and most alive of the arts.



Français:
Québec, 2015. Une nouvelle loi permet aux parents d’enfants à problèmes de les confier à un hôpital si la situation n’est plus tenable. C’est dans ce contexte que Diane « D.I.E. » Després récupère son fils de 16 ans, Steve, hyperactif violent atteint de TDAH. Cinquième long du prodige Xavier Dolan, aussi éblouissant que bouleversant, Mommy n’a rien d’un film ordinaire. De son destin – prix du jury au Festival de Cannes, représentant du Canada aux Oscars, immense succès critique et populaire – aux émotions vives qu’il ne cesse de provoquer, en passant par les performances inimaginables d’intensité d’Anne Dorval, Suzanne Clément et Antoine Olivier Pilon dopées par ce format singulier du 1.1, il est à classer dans la catégorie rare des oeuvres d’exception. Un moment de magie et d’éternité, (re)faisant du cinéma le plus libre et vivant des arts.
