I am at all times thinking about that scene where he sings Space Oddity in his room

I’m really proud to say that my grandfather is the cinematographer of this movie.
Je suis très fière de dire que mon grand-père est le directeur photo de ce film.
i forgot the name of this movie so i looked it up by searching "quebec movie with gay boys" and it worked
An amazingly rich coming-of-age story. Quite possibly one of the most well-directed films I have ever seen. Vallée's stylistic choices are impressive yet never too imposing. Performances are superb all round, though with the actor playing the father being the obvious stand-out. The portrayal of family dynamics seemed utterly authentic, and I loved how the movie chronicles several years while always maintaining Zach's point of view, making it both epic and very personal.
Zachary naît le 25 décembre, comme le petit Jésus - dans ce qui est indéniablement un film de Noël - et Jean-Marc Vallée est décédé ce 25 décembre. Crazy.
Le tout premier cinéaste que j’ai interviewé, alors que j’étais pigiste pour le Montreal Mirror, a été Vallée pour ce film, que j’ai bien sûr adoré comme tout le monde. Cette touchante chronique familiale, avec sa mise en scène inventive, ses formidables needle drops (Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Rolling Stones, Robert Charlebois, Charles Aznavour, Patsy Cline, etc.) et sa distribution impeccable (Marc-André Grondin, Michel Côté, Danielle Proulx, Pierre-Luc Brillant, etc.) aura réussi à rallier tous les milieux et toutes les générations, un exploit peu commun. Un classique de notre cinéma. Cette nuit, ça semblait peut-être le plus grand d'entre tous, le mieux réalisé. J'ai beaucoup pleuré.

Catholic family, a homophobic father, four brothers and gay awakening. A stressful, problematic, sweet, cool coming of age story. Sometimes you just want to sit back and watch something that will draw you in. I always watch coming of age films when that's the case. Because it's easy to empathize and I like "young" problems.
Zac born on Christmas Day. His mother believes that "baby Jesus" gave him a talent. Zac can heal people, stop bleeding and pain. Well, his mother says so. Zac sees this talent as pressure on himself. Because being different from everyone else, being the gifted one is too much for him. Zac also…
