| C.R.A.Z.Y.
Winner of the Best Canadian Feature Film Award at the recent Toronto Film Festival "for its standout
acting, its incredible emotional resonance and extraordinary visual inventiveness", C.R.A.Z.Y. is one
the best films of 2005.
The film is about an ongoing struggle between Zac, the second youngest son in a family of five boys
and his overbearing, homophobic dad. C.R.A.Z.Y. covers a period of thirty years in the life of a suburban Catholic family
and has a remarkable feeling for the era, including one of the best rock
soundtracks in recent memory..
- Howard Schumann, Talking Pictures.
C.R.A.Z.Y. goes far beyond what could have simply been a coming of age story. Director Jean-Marc Vallée
delves beneath all the complex layers that unite and divide a family - the disdain of siblings, a mother's
unconditional love, a father's hard-wired repulsion of homosexuality. The film's resolution is totally
unexpected, and the emotional power in the final scenes hits hard. C.R.A.Z.Y. is wryly funny, deeply
moving, and always real.
- Louise Keller, Urban Cinefile.
