25 décembre 1960 : Zachary Beaulieu vient au monde entre une mère aimante et un père un peu bourru mais fier de ses garçons. De 1960 à 1980, entouré de ses quatre frères, de Pink Floyd, des Rolling Stones et de David Bowie, entre les promenades en moto pour impressionner les filles, les pétards fumés en cachette, les petites et grandes disputes et, surtout, un père qu’il cherche désespérément à retrouver, Zac nous raconte son histoire... C’est le début de C.R.A.Z.Y., le récit de la vie d’un petit garçon puis d’un jeune homme pas comme les autres, qui va jusqu’à renier sa nature profonde, son homosexualité, pour attirer l’attention de son père. (La Pellicule Ensorcelée)

Emotional immersion without cheap blackmail through visual games à la Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Perhaps only the director's persistent attempt to shoot through reflections (in a mirror, glass or glasses) becomes tired and annoying towards the end.

C.R.A.Z.Y. is a two-hour long and incredible journey with countless peripeteia and dramas aimed at self-discovery in the most complex period of human life - adolescence. We follow the fate of one (a)typical family whose members experience their small and big joys and sorrows. The cast was well chosen and each actor was perfectly suited to their character. The serious line of the film was enriched with fantasy scenes and all this was underlined by a slightly humorous level, which provided a certain degree of lightness. The entire running time was fully utilized and it is almost unbelievable how much action was packed into it. In short, a film that plays no games and tries to highlight issues that can affect any family, anywhere in the world.

There are bad movies that everyone knows, and there are excellent movies that escape people's attention. I stumbled upon C.R.A.Z.Y. by chance and didn't expect anything from this Canadian comedy. My surprise was even greater when I realized how pleasant and impressive this film is. There are plenty of stories about difficult adolescence, but this movie manages to be original, mixing humorous elements with tragic moments, and it feels completely realistic in all stages. It is a testimony to a certain time when men still played the role of family providers but gradually lost ground as emancipation took place. The perception of homosexuality was also changing, but the problem of drugs emerged, and all of this is ventilated in C.R.A.Z.Y. It is very well acted, but its biggest advantage is the clever script. A film that pleases and sticks in my memory. Overall impression: 90%.
