Claudio C @Claudio666 Jun 25, 2026 The Metamorfose (12,531–25 Jun 2026) In 1989, in Montreal, the literature teacher Laurence Alia has been living for two years with the wannabe actress Fred Bellair, who is infatuated with him. Laurence tells Fred that he will change his sex since he is not comfortable being a man. Their lives turn upside-down: Fred has depression; his mother Julienne Alia forbids him to come to her house; he is fired by the school board since the students’ parents believes he is mentally ill. Along ten years, Laurence and Fred have new partners, Fred gets married with children; and Laurence becomes a successful writer. From time to time, they see each other, but their love does not rekindle. "Laurence Anyways" (2012) is an overlong and overrated film about a man that one day decides to become a woman. The film shows how his life was transformed and mainly how affected the life of his woman. But the plot has ups and downs and pleases only a minority. My vote is five.

See more Nov 26, 2021 Despite its excess, the music, beautiful visual style and impressive performances makes of "Laurence Anyways" an exciting emotional roller coaster and one of the most finely calibrated films in director Xavier Dolan's uneven career.

Daha 20 yaşındayken, hem yönetip hem oynadığı film olan Annemi Öldürdüm ve 2. filmi Hayali Aşklar ile ilgiyle izlenen Dolan, bu filmin ilk 90 dakikasında ilgiyle izlenen filmi 168 dakikaya sarkıtarak uzatıyor. Melvil Poupaud ve Suzanne Clément harika. See more Mar 30, 2020 One of the best works of Xavier Dolan filmography. A tender and touching story set in the 90s about the little 'revolution' of a man who feels uncomfortable in his male body.

But at the end this is a very basic "love" story with a wig and nail polish, so there was no reason to make it last for almost three hours, was it? And it is a shame because it is a good film, but could have been way better! See more Read all reviews
