C.R.A.Z.Y.

Director: Jean-Marc Vallee

Cast: Michel Cote, Marc-Andre Grondin, Danielle Proulx

Cert: 15

Zac (played brilliantly by Grondin) isn't your average lad - at birth he was clinically dead but revived, and was then dropped on his head - but he's making the most of it.

This is a funny and sympathetic film about the journey of an extraordinary character - he finds a girlfriend but can't escape from his father's suspicions about his sexuality - and director Vallee pulls out all the stops in bringing us a fully-rounded, well-observed family of odd-balls.

It's a gem of a film.

Star Rating: 5/5
