"When I watch I Killed My Mother, I see another person," Dolan says in the above interview, excerpted from this past weekend's episode of The Filmmakers. "I see another artist...I didn't know how to do things, and I had seen very few films."
Whatever Dolan may think of his own first film, it's hard not to be blown away it, even eight years later. Written when he was just 16 years old, the funny, heartbreaking portrait of a son - played by Dolan himself - at odds with his overbearing mother (portrayed by Anne Dorval) more than deserves its place in the canon of extraordinary debuts from filmmakers of any age.
The film also has the distinction of launching the career of one of Canada's most iconic filmmakers. Now 28, Dolan has had made six award-winning feature films, with his first in English in the works - The Death and Life on John F. Donovan, featuring the likes of Jessica Chastain, Susan Sarandon and Natalie Portman. Along the way, he's also waged a bit of a war with certain film critics who he feels have unfairly targeted him, particularly on social media.

Xavier Dolan Addresses His Critics

What a measured, likable, intelligent young artist.
@@glassjaw2007 get in line Lester
How on earth would some people call him a narcissistic?? He is so down to earth and genuine... such a great soul... Love him as an artist and a human being 🤍
I like the interviewer and her questions. He seems to have fun answering to her questions.
so you like KAREN, thats good good good
He is so charismatic. It's partly because of his age and how honest he is, but mostly because of his passion and perspective on both movie-making and life. I reacted the same way as the interviewer did when he said "The success is freedom". He is so talented and down-to-earth at the same time which is no so common in the film industry.
Not only a great director, but also a handsome man.
well.. thats not an achievement isnt it dumbo?
fuck of lorne
I think he's absolutely beautiful.....I love watching him talk.
It would be a pleasure being surrounded by like-minded talent who offer advice without being pompous. Lucky guy.
he has such a unique and beautiful perspective on life
I love his movie Mommy. Such a talented director.
Both the interviewer and Xavier are adorable.
Damn! His so handsome and intelligent. And I wasn't expecting him to talk like that, he's very well spoken and he speak english with such ease and confidence even if the english is not his first language, it's very flawless👌. Im fucking obssessed with him!
He's from Canada I think English is his first language
This guy has so much passion for filmmaking.🙌💙 He inspires me.
Reminds me of the filmmaker Fabrizio Federico, he's an indie director from the UK, in that they are both stubborn and share such a passion for the filmmaking process
I personally find it silly to fantasize about people, especially the ones you have never even met in real life (those so-called celebrities). If there is an exception to that it's Dolan.
I was born at the same time as mr Dolan. Same month day and year of birth. March 20 1989
he seems in much better state than when he did interviews for mommy, this definitely something good to see :)
So dedicated so beautiful so smart💙 love him so much
I’ve followed him for sometime I was not expecting for him to sound like this lol
This isn’t a diss by the way he has a great voice 💗
I saw only one film of his. Mathias . I could recognise the potential in him. I followed him to another film of great performance.
He has talent and passion. This interview proves the depth in his persona
she was going to say How I met your mother HAHAHAH
Karen Alonso And it turns out to be How I killed my mother lol
His films are just amazing. And his acting as well.
Good interviewer. Love his movies.
so talenteedddd and down to earth
Now this is what talent is made of
Brother, you kill it. One of, if not my favourite Quebecois director. And maybe just one of my favourite contemp. auteurs.
He's an amazing director
guys im in love with him
"success is freedom". yesso man.
I absolutely adore Xavier Dolan.
Don't buy! Adopt! (Dogs)
Loved this interview
I was expecting a french accent
He's not french
He's not from France but his first language is French. The vast vast majority of Québec francophones have a French accent when they speak Engish. It's therefore impressive to hear that his English is flawless.
^ Lel. There are loads of quebecers that have absolutely no noticeable accent when speaking in english. It's actually fairly common today. On the other hand or perhaps oddly enough you will encounter very few anglophones in here that can master french phonetically and even much less grammatically. Quite astonishing in a province that's, still, overwhelmingly french. Maybe now would be a good time to tighten the leash some.
Cause he is from Montreal
Can't we speak two languages well?
He was great in It Chapter 2.
I killed my mother, Mommy & It’s only the end of the world; His best films.This boy is a genius ❤️❤️❤️
5:55 i feel bad that he worked on John F Donavan for 10 years, given that it was a flop. It’s not entirely his fault tho
I've never seen him with or even talk about a partner ? Does anybody know who he has dated or dating atm ?
"the success is freedom"
he's still a bae
His English got so good!
His foot is unbearably shaky
A Macaroni adhd gang
he is so talented
my favorite is Heartbeats
Muito bom!, Gostei de conhecê-lo melhor!
Very nice..
Is it just me, or is his voice higher when he speaks English?
Xavier Dolan is what Cole Sprouse thinks he is
Love Xavier
Adrian Mellon
It's so gorgeous
I gotta same long sleeves from Walmart
I like his works!
IT chapter 2 opening
Adrian: wow
Don: he’s you congratulations surprise
Adrian: look at that never been a fan of the beather but look at this hat I’m mean thank you
Actually i killed my mom was a movie about me lol so i cant look at it as a directioner sight i cant disrespect my past
Alguien que traduzca esto al Español! Por favor!
Hey guy what did he claim he copied at 1:27 ???
Akemi Re He meant when he saw I Killed My Mother again, he saw the 21-year-old himself who directed it at the time as another person and could have objective opinions.
in the mood for love! great shit, man, def worth watching
love him
I'm doing a biography on dis bruh, almost done.
Well? Is it finished?
gotta read it !!
Love you Xavier!!!
a CANADIAN QUEBECOIS TREASURE
Mommy is a brilliant film
The thing is too much sharing about feelings, just make the movie and let me enjoy it, move on to your next film.
He's hella cute
9:02 Quebectors
genius
Il est épuisant. Trop de mimiques inutiles pour dire trois banalités.. il est temps de se calmer un peu
😍
I love his brilliant mind, but he does not seem healthy in this interview. So jittery and sweaty.
Dude cannot stop twitching his leg. He looks like he is on something.
that might be nervousness or just a habit, I do that shit all the time, yet I don't do drugs or any shit like that
He siad 'It's racist show~' yes , we have smell eyes but we do not harm you. 😑
he seems so coked up
satuesday a little bit xd
He looks more like too nervous and excited at the same time
is he on coke ?
He is an Aries, watch your language.
