We finally get a first look at Xavier Dolan‘s new film Mommy, and yes, it’s arriving before we even get a confirmed release date of his newest film, Tom at the Farm, which I caught at last year’s Toronto Film Festival (read my review).
Mommy stars Anne Dorval, Suzanne Clement and Antoine Olivier Pilon as it tells the story of a widowed single mother (Dorval), raising her violent son (Pilon) alone, finds new hope when a mysterious neighbor (Clement) inserts herself into the mother and son’s household, providing the mother with needed support.
eOne is handling the film in Canada and selling the rights world wide. The big question now is to wonder where it will premiere. Dolan is currently in post production, but will the film be ready for Cannes? Ready or not, I highly expect it to have a Toronto premiere, which is where I hope to catch it later this year.
