"Xavier Dolan (director of 'Mommy' and 'Juste la Fin du Monde') knows how to insert taboos that need to be broken in his films, and with 'Matthias et Maxime', we again see the filmmaker's shrewdness. The production very well discusses fragile masculinity - which is usually discussed by women and not by those who should be talking about it - and brings something very new, a very different view from what we are used to seeing in other cinematic works. Dolan made a unique montage, as well as all the direction - which manages to convey what the actors are feeling very well."
