If John Wick 2 even makes 30 million I will eat 1,000 shoes.

Re: Tom à la ferme [Tom at the Farm]
This was fantastic. The second best Dolan film I've seen after "Mommy." It's absolutely riveting and I couldn't wait to see what would happen next. For some reason I thought it was going to be a drama. And in some ways it is but the tension is too palpable to not call it a psychological thriller first and foremost. Pierre Yves-Cardinal gives a great and menacing performance.
This was so compulsively watchable that it could have easily been longer. Now I'm kind of bummed that I just have one more film in Dolan's current oeuvre to watch before I'm done.
Can The Criterion Collection please pick up his films so they can get proper US releases? It's crazy to me that none of them have Blu-ray releases in the US. They're just begging for a Criterion boxed set.
