Tom na Quinta

Dolan captura de forma impressionante a psicologia e a química entre os personagens, através dos quais cura os seus próprios demónios. Mas, neste caso, não é suficiente para uma experiência cinemática satisfatória. Tom na Quinta é um drama de relação solidamente reproduzido com segredos obscuros e verdades do passado revelados com tensão graduada, mas soa vazio no final e torna-se meramente uma fotografia envolvente, mas sem duração.

This is the third film with Xavier Dolan’s name signed under it and I almost didn’t finish watching it to the end. I have a feeling that his stories might not be up my alley. (21/11/2014)

I was quite excited to see Xavier Dolan's new film, but I wasn't completely satisfied with the product. The visuals are very nice, the atmosphere is quite agonizing and bleak, but somehow the story didn't grab me. Or rather, the story as a whole, because I somehow didn't get into the plot and moreover I didn't understand the very irrational behaviour of the characters. Quite possibly this was the director's intention, but it bothered me. In short, a film that is well made, no question about it, but I just couldn't get into the world I was presented with – unfortunately. (26/08/2014)
