Deux amis d’enfance s’embrassent pour les besoins d’un court métrage amateur. Suite à ce baiser d’apparence anodine, un doute récurrent s’installe, confrontant les deux garçons à leurs préférences, bouleversant l'équilibre de leur cercle social et, bientôt, leurs existences.
« Le trouble vient de là. Et le vertige du film. Son coup de foudre fait d’attente et de suspension, de silence et de déni, ces deux amants qui crèvent de désir, et meurent doucement de ne pas se toucher. Matthias & Maxime a l’étoffe des histoires d’amour impossibles sur le papier qui ont le pouvoir de s’incarner en nous. » (Les Inrockuptibles)
.
« A relatively subtle yet moving entry into the Dolanverse, where explosive love is sublimated beneath the ebb and flow of friendship rhythms, and characters are revealed in tender observational details. » (Empire)
.
« As ever, Dolan’s creative motor runs on dialogue: people talking, talking, talking. Sex is the one thing that stops the flow. He gets his camera intimately close to his actors’ faces: a wide shot, or a thoughtful tableau, is relatively rare. His movies, for me, have become increasingly watchable, accessible and enjoyable because the feelings involved are increasingly real and deeply felt. There is such tenderness and gentleness in this film. » (The Guardian)
