Storyline:
Julien and his mum care for each other very much. But Julien has committed a deadly sin: he is growing into a teenager! Worse, he has found himself a girlfriend of his age. “Mummy” is not going to tolerate such an ignominy. Julien is HER baby and will remain HERS for ever, encouraged in her “crusade” by her bovine husband and barely thwarted by the more courageous interventions of Suzanne, Julien’s sympathetic big sister.
User review:
a mother. her family. and her son. scenes from a war. picture of a disorganized family. more than a film, a scale of tension, emotions, desires. because the possessive mother, the disobedient son, the absent father are only masks of a society. the refuges – football, grand mother piano lessons, the girl friend , career are fragile refuges. essence – nuances of fear. the fear of mother for future failure of Julien. the fear of father front of every day events. the fear of son , like fear of each teenager to be out of circle. and the seed of fear – different definition of love. nothing else. only a precise beautiful performance of each actor and the subtle picture of each piece of crisis. a cold movie. but suitable for everyday bruises.

Julien, a young adolescent boy is subject to a domineering mother who won’t let him have a normal life. For instance, she makes him skip football practice while his team is preparing for the championship so he can spend his day with her. She doesn’t want him to have a girlfriend. She takes away his razer when she finds out he has started shaving. She humiliates him at times. Once after he gets out of the shower and goes into his room. He removes his towel a second before she opens his bedroom door. He quickly puts his hands over his privates, and she makes him lower his hands and stand completely naked in front of her. Things build up through the movie leading to a suspenseful ending. I loved this movie. It deals with delicate subject matter in a way that really draws you in with never a dull moment and a dramatic ending. The acting is superb. I highly recommend it.
