Laurence Anyways

Aroview: Young French-Canadian actor/director Xavier Dolan stays behind the camera of his third film (made at 23 years of age, no less), an assured chronicle of one man's ten year transformation into a woman.

Although Dolan continues to find his feet as a storyteller, and still gives into needless youthful flourishes as a visualist, this latest effort achieves an emotional intelligence and thematic complexity that belies the filmmaker's scarcely believable age.
