Laurence Anyways Reviews
Seattle Times
Jeff Shannon
For all of its transgender drama, "Laurence Anyways" remains a love story, pure but not so simple.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
[Mr. Dolan] perfectly evokes the violating effect of a stranger's scrutiny and the imponderable depths of a lover's gaze.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
A nearly three-hour epic, a melodrama writ large, and blessed with a young man's ambition.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Lewis
"Laurence Anyways" is a formidable display of French Canadian director Xavier Dolan's prodigious talents, but also a case study of a young talent still finding his way to greatness.He'll get there one day, soon, but this film doesn't quite do it.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
It's all too much, really, including its 21/2-hour-plus running time. But it's also engrossing, an ultimately tender story of a transsexual's transformation over 10 years and its effect on him and the people around him.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
At nearly three hours, it's entirely too long, needlessly padded out with an intrusive interview-framing device.
Chicago Sun-Times
Olivia Collette
[It] zeroes in on the impact of transgender on a relationship, and tries to understand what makes two people stay together or fall apart.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
It takes cojones for a filmmaker to chase Fassbinder's ghost, but it takes heart and talent to damn near catch up with it.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
Laurence Anyways has the feel of a personal project that got away from Dolan, full of raw, rough-edged drama in desperate need of discipline and refinement.
Chicago Reader
Andrea Gronvall
Lushly romantic and daringly original.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Poupaud's quiet moments convey a lofty, poignant introspection, and Clment erupts with grand, if scattershot, furies.
Film Comment Magazine
Violet Lucca
Laurence Anyways, Xavier Dolan's third film, acknowledges the messiness of transgendered life, and the sizeable gaps between tolerance, acceptance, and actually going to bed with someone.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
Without belittling the challenges and prejudices Laurence faces, Dolan places her story into larger contexts, posing questions about conformity, heartbreak, love and self-fulfillment.
Film Journal International
Tomris Laffly
Xavier Dolan's refreshing and extraordinary achievement here is fiercely telling a grand tale with the most universal of themes (love), and carefully exempting it from victimization while not avoiding the social issues that surround it.
Village Voice
Calum Marsh
Both deeply refreshing and important.
Variety
Rob Nelson
Fully immodest and intermittently astonishing.
HitFix
Guy Lodge
It's not his underdeveloped narrative that swells "Laurence Anyways" to such an unwelcome length, but the young director's apparent inability to throw out any one of his exquisite shots. Kill your darlings, Master Dolan, and then hang them on the wall.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
It's just too damn much, frankly.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
A sumptuously orchestrated love story about a transsexual man's decade-long struggle to maintain a passionate romance with his female soulmate in the face of creeping hostility from friends, family and society.
Los Angeles Times
At nearly three hours, it's by turns an extraordinary and exhausting work.
