Rating: C- --
A spectacular mash of half-baked ideas... Well, that, and a movie that just got lost somewhere in the editing room.

"The Death and Life of John F. Donovan" is a potentially powerful story, though one not successfully told in the slightest by Xavier Dolan.

Its spectacularity is almost asphyxiating, but... each frame is also an excuse to plunge into the euphoria of its drama. [Full review in Spanish]

From its contrived structure to its forced speechifying, this story... never acquires the emotional potency or coherence its themes demand.

Written and directed by Xavier Dolan, co-starring Natalie Portman, Jacob Tremblay, and Kathy Bates.
