MOVIE REVIEW
Matthias & Maxime (2019)
Matthias (Gabriel D’Almeida Freitas) is a good-looking trainee lawyer whose career is on the rise. Maxime (Xavier Dolan) is leaving behind his alcoholic mother to tend bar in Australia. Before he goes, their gang of friends – who are fully aware their group dynamic is about to end – head off to Rivette’s (Pier-Luc Funk) summer house for a final holiday. While there, Rivette’s annoying younger sister Erika (Camille Felton) announces she is making a short movie. Max volunteers his participation, but Matthias agrees to help only after losing a bet. And only then do they learn Erika wants them to kiss on camera.
