Does not saying that Dolan is good these days means bad taste?

No matter how many people like it, I want to say that changing the screen frame to stimulate the audience's emotions is the performance of the director's poor skills. Is it impossible to show your high level these days without saying that Dolan is good?

After watching "Tom on the Farm", the beginning of "I Killed My Mom" ​​and "Fantasy Love" (I was already tired of aesthetics), and later I heard that "Mummy" has a special trans-epochal significance. However, the version I downloaded may be opened in the wrong way, and I did not see the screen change.
From the amazingness of the first "Tom on the Farm", it never occurred to me that someone could make a thriller with a new wave approach, although it was later discovered that his style was that way. But I still see a strong master image, and the calm temperament that does not match the age slowly unfolds in the film.

There is no denying Dolan's talent in expressing emotions and using his voice. He can take your sight, hearing and emotions to heaven, and then pierce your tears. How many directors with mediocre qualifications are poor in the ability that they can't reach in their whole life.

But after watching a few films, I have basically determined that no matter how hard I try, it is useless. It is impossible for him to become a genius like Orson Welles.
After all, the movie has been developed for so many years, and no one has ever used it. Changing the frame is not his innovation, but the sensory experience of this frame is so uncomfortable, I want to scratch the wall every minute!

Of course there is talent, and the feeling that started to make me think that Haneke finally has a successor and will be better than Lan has gradually disappeared. Those old ailments are still there, the clutter of certain shots, the rhythm and unison's clutter, and the musical jumps (Mommy's most obvious at the beginning, and a few at the farm)
, a disdain for cinematic technique. Gu may be able to appear fresh and energetic in the first ten or twenty films, but the further back he goes, the more he will find that skills will eventually become his bottleneck and a huge obstacle to his inability to improve.
