A masterpiece. (If you ask me)

“Young Leo Lauzon is torn between two worlds - the squalid Montreal tenement that he inhabits with his severely dysfunctional (and largely insane) family, and the imaginative world that he constructs for himself through his writings. “ This movie was off-putting and beautiful, dirty and poetic, shocking and poignant, depressing and heartwarming. This movie broke me and this movie made me. In the end, I sat there on my couch as unexplained and unexpected tears started to flow down my cheeks. A masterpiece found in the trash, a piece of gold in the turd, this movie became an instant favorite of mine. If you are to watch the trailer please watch this one because the one on Imdb is NOT the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPXnxA84cvo My rating: 9.5/10
