"J'ai tué ma mère" ~ 8/10

Probably the most amazing thing about this film would be the fact that the writer and director is a twenty-year-old boy, with a beautiful sense of direction, editing, and cinematography.
The use of slow motion in some scenes, in particular, was a very poetic idea (maybe borrowed to Wong Kar Wai, as it features a similar style of music ?). The black and white scenes, in the bathroom, where Dolan is facing his camera, are great, too.
The actors are beautiful and excellent in their respective roles, Xavier Dolan gave them very beautiful (yet natural) dialogs.
As a debut film, very few young directors would have done better (Dolan is 5 years younger than Orson Welles when he made "Citizen Kane" ^^).
