	Author	Review
United States	Stephen Dalton The Hollywood Reporter	"It is Dolan's warmest, most humane and least narcissistic film to date."	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"It cranks up the intensity with a terrific calibration of first-rate performances and emotional engagement."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It is a splashy, transgressive treat, from trailer-trash chat to unexpected sex and surprising emotional depth (...) It is another notable triumph for Dolan. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A funny, heartbreaking and, above all, original work from Canadian enfant terrible Xavier Dolan."	POS
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"With Dolan, you feel you're in the company of a truly original voice and one unafraid to make his mistakes right up there on the screen. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
