An exuberant, disarming entertainment, C.R.A.Z.Y. makes a familiar story seem new all over again through its sheer showmanship, sharp humor and a wise, profound understanding of the highs and lows of family ties.
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald

A boundlessly energetic coming-of-age story set during the Age of Aquarius/
Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
Fresh
The subject matter may be deep and the family conflicts serious, but Vallee leavens his story with gentle satire and outright humour.
Susan Walker, Toronto Star
Fresh
A full-to-bursting picture that shouts and whispers and darts and meanders and fascinates and frustrates and teems at the seams with raw vitality.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
