The story takes place in Canada in the near future. The government promulgated a new law. All parents must be responsible for children with psychological problems or send them to a detention center. The protagonists of the film are the middle-aged widow Diane and the son Steve who suffers from attention deficit disorder. Both Diane and Steve have their own personality flaws, and they are not mere victims or villains. Their dialogue is full of gunpowder, occasionally escalated into physical contact, and at the same time faintly makes people feel a kind of intimacy that transcends the norm, but the script does not expand on this point. The protagonist of the film is no longer the middle-class bohemian hippie in Dolan’s previous works, but a struggling working class, struggling but full of hope. The vitality and vulgarity that burst out of the characters at the same time give the film a natural reveal. When a shy, stuttering neighbor, Keira, enters the lives of mother and son, "Mommy" changes from a dualistic balance to a strange triangle world. These three people form a family unit, and each of them is released from their personal confinement, at least temporarily.

Maybe Dolan won't be as amazing as watching me kill my mother back then, but he must admit that he has changed and improved over the years. In addition to the pictures participating in the narrative, I think the most amazing part is the part of the mother's fantasy. The music of Ludovico, which I like very much, is supposed to let you live your life in five minutes.

The emotional explosion between the great mother and the child is strong, but the film is a bit depressing. One point is deducted.
