It’s taken a while to get Mommy to the UK. Last May the movie picked up and Cannes Jury Prize, but it’s only now that queer filmmaker Xavier Dolan’s (Tom At The Farm, Laurence Anyways) movie is preparing for its British release on March 20th, and ahead of that a new trailer has arrived.
The delay is likely because the movie was Canada’s official Best Foreign Language Film Oscar and the distributors were hoping to tie the release to that, but unfortunately it missed out on a nomination.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A passionate widowed single mom (Anne Dorval) finds herself burdened with the full-time custody of her unpredictable 15-year-old ADHD son (Antoine Olivier Pilon). As they struggle to make ends meet, Kyla (Suzanne Clément), the peculiar new neighbour across the street, offers her help. Together, they strive for a new sense of balance.
‘Mommy is directed, written and produced by Xavier Dolan and stars Anne Dorval, Suzanne Clément and Antoine Olivier Pilon’
Take a look at the new trailer below.
