Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

ricardo_edm Just recently saw this film and I was impressed. The film grabs you at the beginning and doesn't let go until the very end. Dolan does a masterful job not only at directing but also at playing the main character and the supporting cast is also excellent. The movie is a mix of thriller, suspense, psychological warfare, comedy, drama, and an overall great film. I strongly recommend it

Movie Critic I don't care for dystopic gay movies nor violence nor s&m so am sort of in a bind on how to rate this horror movie. Obviously it deserves about a 7 for the refreshing and fun camera angles and close ups... However the story turns the images into things that you try and forget mostly...Sorry sadism is not my bag a depressing couple hours. This is all a pity as Dolan (director main actor Tom) is clearly very intelligent. This is a director capable of a 9 rated movie (I grade tough)The director stuck in a couple queeny parts that didn't fit...the tango scene in the barn. He needs to control that. Another negative is after the funeral the thing moves too slowly... Bisexual characters are usually an anthema for gays...and the plot reveals that the dead lover was bisexual and a cheater...yes I will stick with the 1 rating. Not a gay friendly movie except the hero escapes.Again the camera angles and close ups were fun...in this entirely local scene(Quebec) filmed movie. Some of the "helicopter views of a car" were probably digital wizardry but the rest was completely authentic.I don't like movies where there is any possibility they may have killed an animal for the film. There were a couple scenes in this thing of dead looking cows...however I have to believe that Canada would not allow this.If I had been Tom the first facial slap from the Francis would have had me out of there fast. But the story is believable. Was it entertaining? Not really was glad when it was over.Overall this director is clearly talented and has what it takes to turn out interesting movies...is he a genius?...some of the camera stuff really impressed me. I hope he latches onto better stories.Oh one final comment... was the anti-American slap at the very end needed? We are a large potential audience. He has Francis take off his coat and wear a levi-jacket with an American flag and USA on it as he closes in for the kill. Numerous closeups of this. Although not fatal it helps nothing: Je parle français j'habite en Colorado et j'adore les Québécois.DO NOT RECOMMEND this movie but Dolan has great potential.. Will look for other films he has done.

evanston_dad This cinematic baby of director/writer/actor Xavier Dolan is a moderately successful suspense film that is prevented from being more successful by its desire to be strange and enigmatic rather than forthright about its intentions.Dolan plays a young gay man who visits the family of his recently deceased lover to attend the funeral. There, he finds himself adored by the oblivious mother who didn't know her son was gay, and hated by the crazy, violent brother who hates that his sibling was gay and intends to keep that knowledge from his mother at all costs. This plays out mostly as you would expect, with an increasing sense of claustrophobic dread. Why Dolan's character doesn't just leave this potentially dangerous situation is adequately explained through various plot devices, some of them imposed on him by external circumstances, some of them arising from his own internalized motivations. Dolan gives a very good performance, but the actor who plays the abusive antagonist is poorly cast, not menacing or threatening enough to be convincing. And a late-act plot development involving a fake female love interest for the dead brother does more to derail the movie than heighten its suspense.Still, those looking for an off-kilter watch will probably be satisfied. This movie reminded much in tone of last year's release "Strangers by the Lake," though that is a much better film than this one.Grade: B+

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a man, called Tom, who pays an unannounced visit to his late boyfriend's farm in a small town in Quebec. He meets the brother who is violent and widely feared by the whole town. Yet, Tom is attracted to danger and stays at the farm.This story is really captivating. It has so many subtle clues as to what the psychologically disturbed characters are thinking, which explain their behaviour. It drives viewers to think deeply about the reasons for their seemingly inexplicable behaviour, which is engaging and thrilling. Tom is clearly very attracted to being abused, and his psychological state is portrayed vividly by the film. There are some really dangerous moments in the film, making it thrilling. I really enjoyed watching "Tom at the Farm", and I look forward to watching other films by the same director.
