The wait is over, here we go again with Girls Season 4…the last time we saw these ladies; Hannah had been accepted to grad school in Iowa, Marnie was hooking up with Desi, Jessa was helping Beedie commit suicide, and Shoshanna wasn’t going to graduate on time.

If there was a movie definition of the word bristling, Mommy would certainly be the representation. This movie, directed by Canadian wunderkind Xavier Dolan, is brash, aggressive, and all-consuming, yet there’s never a moment you aren’t caught up in its spell. It’s one thing to make a movie that’s incredibly charged with energy, populated with characters who are at once repulsive and magnetic, but quite another to add the humanist element that makes you extremely invested in the movie.
