''I Killed My Mother'' (French: ''J'ai tué ma mère'') is a 2009 Canadian French-language drama film written, directed, co-produced by and starring Creator/XavierDolan. The film was Dolan's directorial debut and loosely based on his real life, written by him at 16 and produced when he was 20.
Hubert Minel (Dolan) is a 16-year-old boy in a complicated relationship with his mother Chantale. He loudly objects to virtually all she says or does, but constantly falls victim to what he perceives as mechanisms of manipulation and guilt-tripping from her. In the midst of his anger and confusion, Hubert drifts through his adolescence by way of artistic discoveries, illicit experiences, and struggles with ostracism.

Teenager Hubert haughtily regards his mother with contempt, and only sees her tacky sweaters and kitsch decorations. In addition to these irritating surface details, there is also his parent's cherished mechanisms of manipulation and guilt.

The turbulent relationship between mother and son unfolds with a compelling combination of savage fury and melting affection.
