I mørke nærbilleder kommer vi klaustrofobisk tæt på skuespillernes ansigter, og man tigger næsten om et totalbillede og en chance for at trække vejret. Det er et filmsprog, der effektivt skaber frustration hos publikum.

Xavier Dolan gör ofta färgstarka filmer, rika på känslor och ibland högljudda. Han älskar uttrycksfulla skådespelare och musik som också sätter prägel på filmerna.
