Laurence Anyways (Xaviar Dolan)
Xavier Dolan is one of the most interesting talents of our generation, and while his first two films, I Killed My Mother and Heartbeats, showed signs of that promise, it wasn’t until his heavyweight Laurence Anyways that his potential and unadulterated skill were laid bare. First and foremost, Laurence Anyways is a love story, and the fact that it centers itself on a trans woman and her lover, spanning over years of their tumultuous relationship, only makes it that much more interesting. It’s a film that loves its characters, that treats them as human beings with things to love and things to hate. It’s an enormously emotional film about boundless love in it’s truest form.
