184. Mommy - This Just In/World Tour 2020 (#---)




The 250 show

Summary: Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guests Ronan Doyle and Phil Bagnall, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. This time, Xavier Dolan's Mommy. In a fictionalised 2015 Canada, widowed Diane "Die" Després finds herself forced to care for her young son Steve. Steve is a challenging child at the best of times, with his attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder leaving him prone to shocking mood swings. With the help of her neighbour Kyla, Die works desperately to strike a balance with Steve. However, whatever sense of equilibrium this dysfunctional family finds is destined to come crashing down around their ears. At time of recording, it was not ranked on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
