This may be the finest Canadian film, surpassing the likes of Incendies and Cronenberg’s body horror. There is much to learn from Mary Lou. Strong moral values; important to remember a friend who suddenly crimps her hair and wears sweaters may need to seek help. Transactional blowjobs result in a swift demise. Kissing your dad is just ok. The commentary on Catholicism is striking and refreshing, especially in the current climate (pope Francis is sick). A fine, fine film.
