This week I watched one of my new favorite movies. It is called Mommy. The story is about a child with ADHD, his mother's struggle to cope and a helpful neighbor. It is one of the most visually interesting films I have ever seen. This is partly due to the fact that the aspect ratio is 1:1, meaning the screen is confined to a square. The director, Xavier Dolan, did not just make this choice to stand out, instead, it helps advance the claustrophobic feeling as well as give you insight into the characters' state of mind.

I really like the blurry effect. Acting as this was not clear to him. I also like the color correction.
