Wanted to say a bit about this amazing movie. Not that the Genies (Canada’s Oscars) are anything to get excited about but this little French Canadian movie swept those little f—er’s. Director Jean-Marc Vallée is a new hero to all of us aspiring Canadian filmmakers. This ambitious 70’s rock infused tale of a father and his complicated relationship with his wife and sons takes us on a 20-year trip of visual magnificence that we can’t easily forget. This is the great family epic that Scorsese never made. All the actors in this ensemble piece are going to have great careers ahead of them. I especially liked the son Zac, ( Marc-André Grondin) He's kinda like a French Gael García Bernal, only with better hair. I should warn you that there is some CGI used in C.R.A.Z.Y but it is tasteful and doesn't get in the way of the storytelling. I hope this gets it to a broader audience because it really deserves to be seen. Recently, I have been making an effort to see more locally made flicks and this is by far the best Canadian movie I have seen in years.
