It took Jean-Marc Vallée 10 years to write this film. Two hours of beautiful entertainment brought to you from Quebec. It is a complete emotional rollercoaster as you watch Zac (Marc-André Grondin) grow from a gorgeous young boy who is trying on his mommy’s clothes to a young smoky-eyeliner-wearing boy who retreats to pink floyd for solace from the unforgiving world. To call this a coming of age story or a coming out story would be selling it short because it is much much more. The family relationships and dynamics are so interesting, minus any icky clichés. You can’t help being drawn to and growing to love all of the characters. The movie is (appropriately named) C.R.A.Z.Y

I really recommend this film if you wish to be entertained, intrigued and teary all at the same time.  It really gets under your skin, in a good way. So, enjoy.

Oh, and here is French-Canadian actor Marc-André Grondin from the film all grown up in all of his gorgeousness. Il est trop beau.
