Garçon chiffon

I knew practically nothing about Nicolas Maury's "Garçon chiffon" ("My Best Part" in English) when I started watching it. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it's an effective study of a gay man's relationships, both with his mom and with his romantic partner; Maury has shown himself to be a good actor and director. On the other hand, it's a bit slow-paced. Not to the level of dullness like Terrence Malick's movies, but Maury could've at least made the characters more forceful.

In the end, the movie is worth seeing, if only once. I'll be interested in seeing more of Maury's movies, and I hope that they have similar plots to this one. It apparently was an official selection at the 2020 Cannes Film Festival but didn't get screened due to the coronavirus.

Not a great movie but not terrible.
