Mommy

“Loving people doesn't save them.”

Diane "Die" Després (Anne Dorval), a recent widow in Canada, wants to keep her teenage son home and out of an institution. Steve (Antoine Olivier Pilon) is unpredictable and sometimes violent, and Xavier Dolan lets the house fill with their shouting and their affection in equal measure. Kyla (Suzanne Clément), the quiet neighbor across the street, starts to settle in between the two of them.
