It's Only the End of the World affirms my earlier suspicion that he is a talented director who needs better scripts. The concluding one-two punch of some punishingly literal magic realism (at least I think that's what he was going for) and the Moby song were particularly eye-rolling.

Despite my frustration with Dolan in the past, I'm intrigued by the premise of his latest, even if the reviews seem to be warning me not to get too excited:

My friends hated it, and they're willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. He's good in Boy Erased, though, so maybe this talented pretty boy should pull a John Cassavetes and develop his finely gelled hostility as an actor.

still, I'm looking forward to it. His last film It's Only the End of the World got trashed by the critics and I wasn't expecting much, but I really enjoyed it

hard to believe Dolan made I Killed My Mother when he was only 20 years old
― Dan S, Wednesday, 10 April 2019 01:54 (five years ago) link
it was the marketing hook

interesting to see the progression from I Killed My Mother to Heartbeats
I like Dolan's idea with Heartbeats that "we conceptualize love and fall for ideas, not people.”

strikes me how good an actor Dolan is

John F Donovan is apparently scandalously bad. Did it ever find a distributor?

Looking on IMDB - after TIFF last September, it was only just released in Italy and France last month, nowhere else, It must be bad
