MOMMY LEADS WITH SIX NODS FROM VANCOUVER FILM CRITICS CIRCLE


The Vancouver Film Critics Circle (as far as I am aware) allows for crossover between its international film categories and its Canadian film categories, though no film has achieved as much this year. Xavier Dolan's Mommy still leads the pack, though, with a total of six nominations. The group's Canadian selection is more extensive (and better) than its national counterparts the Toronto Film Critics' Association's, though its international selections are perhaps wanting for a little imagination. That is, save the Best Actress category, which is a breath of fresh air, compared to the rest. Winners are set to be announced on the 5th of January. Here are the details in full:
