Dolan has toned it down a little visually but it’s still a gorgeous film- lush photography and just about every critic, rightly, notes the beautiful Gabriel Yared score
Oddly enough yared’s previous best work (arguably because he also did English patient) was on the talented mr ripley with minghella and it also is about repressed homosexuality (on some level) resulting in violence
Dolan has really made a slow-burn horror or thriller film out of repressed homosexuality embodied (combined with mother issues—of course—because it’s a Dolan film).
Uneven and imperfect- I don’t truly buy Dolan’s actor Tom’s transformation
Billboard and signs throughout the film, film form, point and flat out state and talk about “being real” and true to self
Gorgeous aerial shots of single round amongst farm landscaped
