Unbiased journlalists may seem hard to find these days. But as Alex Garland's film reminds us, they're still out there, and they're not the problems – they're the messengers. And you don't shoot the messengers. Except that here, other Americans very much do.

A Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize recipient that was also nominated for prestigious Palme d’Or, and the French Cesar Award winner for Best Foreign Film, French-Canadian director Xavier Dolan's Mommy enjoys a special April 18 screening as part of the Figge Art Museum's Free Film at the Figge series, the drama lauded by the Montreal Gazette as "an ode to the strength of tough working-class single mothers everywhere."
