I Killed My Mother (French: J'ai tué ma mère) is a 2009 Canadian coming-of-age drama film written, directed, produced by and starring Xavier Dolan, in his directorial debut. Loosely autobiographical, it follows the complicated relationship between a young man Hubert Minel (Dolan) and his mother (Anne Dorval). The film attracted international press attention when it won three awards from the Director's Fortnight program at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. After being shown, the film received a standing ovation. It was shown in 12 cinemas in Quebec and 60 in France.
I Killed My Mother was announced as Canada's submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 82nd Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.
