Matthias & Maxime is the latest feature from writer-director Dolan (Laurence Anyways, Tom at the Farm, Mommy), the Canadian wunderkind whose directorial debut I Killed My Mother premiered at Cannes when the actor/director was just 20.
Receiving its premiere in Competition at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, Matthias & Maxime is a quietly understated coming-of-age story as two long-time friends grapple with their sexualities.
Two childhood best friends are asked to share a kiss for the purposes of a student short film. Soon, a lingering doubt sets in, confronting both of them with their preferences, threatening the brotherhood of their social circle, and, eventually, changing their lives.
