Director Xavier Dolan delivers a striking love story set in 1990’s Montreal. A man, Laurence (Melvil Poupaud), has just told his girlfriend, Fred (Suzanne Clément), that he wants to become a woman. What follows is a tumultuous, decade-long odyssey during which the couple fights passionately to salvage their relationship. In spite of the odds and in spite of each other, they confront the prejudices of their friends, ignore the council of their families, and brave the phobias of the society they offend. ...As epic visually as it is in scope, from its first frame Laurence Anyways is rendered with Dolan’s signature panache. Certainly his most ambitious film to date, it is a monumental tale about relationships and identity - a story of impossible love that once experienced, can never be fully relinquished. (VIFF)
