Notes
Another very fine Xavier Dolan film, albeit difficult to watch· Young son Steve's disorder leads to extreme mood swings· They include many violent angry outbursts which, without warning, suddenly change into some almost inappropriate ‘kiss and make up’ sessions with his mother, Die· Die not only is incapable of treating her son, but often exasperates the situation· A neighbor, Kyla, has skills which enables her to relate to both· How far can love and hope go in treating ADHD·
