Anne Dorval

Anne Dorval is an actress I would sit upright to watch. Appearing in five of Xavier Dolan's films alone earns my full attention, and her mother in Mommy, where ferocious love and exhaustion collide in the same breath, is the kind of performance you never shake off. If anyone deserves the word muse, it is her. Five Gémeaux Awards confirm she gives the same intensity to stage, screen and television without holding back. From a small northern Quebec town she became a defining face of the province's culture. The performers who lay their whole emotional self bare are the ones I find most frightening, and most beloved.
