Tom à la ferme

Dolan capte de manière impressionnante la psychologie et la sincérité entre les personnages, à travers lesquels il soigne ses propres démons. Cependant, ce n'est pas une expérience cinématographique totalement satisfaisante dans ce cas. Tom à la ferme est une relation solide, avec la révélation de sombres secrets et de vérités passées, avec une tension croissante, mais finalement, cela se termine vide et ne devient qu'un moment d'engagement, mais non durable.

I was quite excited to see Xavier Dolan's new film, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the product. The visuals are very nice, the atmosphere is quite agonizing and bleak, but somehow the story didn't grab me. Or rather, the story as a whole, because I somehow didn't get into the plot and moreover I didn't understand the very irrational behaviour of the characters. Quite possibly this was the director's intention, but it bothered me. In short, a film that is well made, no question about it, but I just couldn't get into the world I was presented with – unfortunately. (26/08/2014)

This is the third film with Xavier Dolan’s name signed under it and I almost didn’t finish watching it to the end. I have a feeling that his stories might not be up my alley. (21/11/2014)
