This movie is beautiful and have a great art !

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.

"Babam hep derdi ki: Şairler asla kış için giyinmezler. Fakat kışın onlara bir zararı olmaz. Çünkü bir şairin kalbi, daima sıcacıktır. Tabi buza dönüşene kadar." 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.

Good acting, good writing, and an interesting movie. It seemed a bit pretentious, but that might just be my stuff. I enjoy movies with well developed characters and this definitely did.

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.

Yes Xavier Dola, I admit you are a good director. Colors, scenes, musics: everything is just right, powerful, with an 80s feeling. 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!

Laurence Anyways sometimes strains to achieve its narrative ambitions (and fill its three-hour running time), but mostly succeeds.

is this too long? yes, most definitely. but it's touching and poignant and sweet in the best way possible. a queer film not to be missed.

a tour de force of acting, cinematography, and storytelling.

There is so much to like about this movie. The performances are incredible. The conceits, completely arresting. So much passion and torment. So much life. Such beautiful compositions. This is what cinema should be.

A passionate film about love, freedom and the pressure of social norms. It shows in a heart-felt manner how difficult it is to pursue one's freedom and to be faithful to one's true self. Skillfully acted by Suzanne Clément and Melvil Poupaud. As usual in Dolan's films, music perfectly conveys the moods of the various turning points and never fails to match visually powerful scenes. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for a deep, beautiful and bold movie.

Xavier is always an interesting choice. Often dealing wither personal issues, crisis or sexual orientation. Meet Lawrence. A straight man in a relationship. He tells his girl that he want's to become a woman. He's still straight, but he want's a sex change. That makes him lesbian, kind of. The girl takes it quite hard. So does he, really, and their relationship is the plot here more or less. It's lovely shot and it got some great "freak out moments". Scenes that are full of visual blow outs, dreamlike or metaphorical. Fantastic acting by the two leads and a very solid presentation. It's a very long film, nearly three hours. That's too long to be fair, but it's not a boring ride. Powerful, real and kind of important. Imaginative and intense. Rhytmic and intelligent. My least favorite of the three Dolan flicks I've seen, but still a very solid film. It's very much alike his other films, but they are all interesting and something different. 7 out of 10 pink bricks.

Less personal in comparison to other Dolan films, but still very deep and thoughtful, and with an indescribable and perfect pace and tone that help to tell the creative story from a very objective and peculiar point of view regarding Laurence and the romance that softly unfolds beneath the changes.

I love the fact that this movie doesn't revolve around Laurence's transness and it is a very beautiful movie. I'm still disappointed by the fact that a cis man plays the role of a trans woman, but it's still a very powerful movie.

Obscenely gorgeous and excessively stylized, this would almost not work if it wasn't for the emotional resonant drama Xavier Dolan frames in all the right ways and a stand out performances all around (with particular emphasis on a raging Suzanne Clément), it all ends up turning a love story into a sweeping melodrama epic about identity, conformism and love that for better or worse refuses to die. Any regrets Laurance?

Beautifully filmed, right behind Dolan's Mommy in terms of beautiful photography. Goes on a little too long, but was mostly compelling. Very touching love story.

Dolan made this movie in 2013, way before Caitlin Jenner enters the national consciousness and became the talk of the town. So what if he needs to edit a little, for such a young director he keeps pushing the envelope and engages us in important social topics that need discussing. This is one of them.

M-F-O 8.4 [Xavier Dolan]

Even though "Laurence Anyways," is about the title character(Melvil Poupaud), a transgender teacher and poet, the movie is in reality not so much concerned about gender. Rather, it is about transformation in general, as it charts ten years in the life of her and her long time girlfriend Fred(Suzanne Clement), a production assistant for movies, during the 1990's while charting the evolution of their ever changing relationship. As such, writer-director Xavier Dolan shows marked improvement in his visual presentation with several very memorable images. For example, the first time Laurence walks through a school hallway in women's clothes has to be one of the bravest things a character has ever done in a movie. At the same time, I'm not quite sure "Laurence Anyways" warrants its epic length, just as much as Dolan seems to reference the 80's more than the 90's.(Look, I may not know fashion or hairstyling but I do know a 1981 Duran Duran song when I hear one.)

Captivating; very beautiful filmmaking!
