Laurence Anyways (2013)
Xavier Dolan’s third film is a master class on how to create an emotional roller-coaster of a film. It’s a definitive epic that pits two lovers in the center. Fred and Laurence are in love, they’re reckless and abhor to a new age punk mentality but things get tough when Laurence tells Fred that she identifies as a woman. What follows is a grand look at a 15 year span of time where their love is tested, broken and rekindled. It’s a stunning portrait of kindred spirits and how love wants to conquer all.
