If Mommy hit the spot, these will too

One thread runs through both: parents and children
The difference: Not nearly as dreamlike as Mommy

Two things both keep coming back to: growing up and single mother
The difference: None of the dream logic Mommy is built on

Both keep coming back to the same thing: growing up

Contemplative and wistful in the same breath

Both lean on stillness more than on drama


Wistful drama in both cases
The difference: Critics were much harder on this one

The same preoccupation in both: parents and children
The difference: Leans harder into action than Mommy does

Drama built on stillness, twice over

Xavier Dolan directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

Both sit in the same wistful register

Both are drama through and through
The difference: 59 years apart, and the 1950s show
In the mood for more contemplative?
