CGiii Comment

Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the best 'gay' comedies ever made.

Technically, it's faultless - special mention should be given to the editor - for this is, indeed, a masterclass in editing.

The soundtrack...inspired.

Star, writer, director - Guillaume Gallienne - achieves the near-impossible, a film with pace, with humour and a thrilling imagination...

The ending: jaw-droppingly brilliant.

The(ir) Blurb...

Mrs. Gallienne, a rather temperamental upper middle-class lady, has three children, two of whom she considers as her sons and another she calls Guillaume. Logically indeed, the latter teenage creature does not picture himself as a boy, rather as a girl or at best as a homosexual. But how can a mother act in such an objectionable way? And why? Through a series of painful chain of experiences, Guillaume will discover little by little who he is actually and will manage to break free from her pernicious influence.
