Canada’s Prime Minister praised filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée on social media on Monday for his passion and talent. The Canadian director of the film Dallas Buyers Club and the series Big Little Lies died this weekend at the age of 58, presumably of a heart attack.
His work and artistic insight have left his mark in Quebec, the rest of Canada and around the world. My thoughts are with his family, friends and fans who are grieving after his sudden death,” said Justin Trudeau.

Nicole Kidman also reacted to Vallée’s death, with whom she collaborated on Big Little Lies, the series for which the Canadian director received several awards, including an Emmy Award and a Directors Guild Award. “It’s hard to imagine that someone as energetic, vital and present as Jean-Marc is gone,” the actress wrote on Instagram. “I am devastated. He was the center of my creative universe and I cannot emphasize enough how important he was to me.”
Kidman says working with Vallée was the most fulfilling experience of her career, “but it’s his friendship, kindness and love that will stay with me.”
Matthew McConaughey, who won an Oscar for his role in Vallée-directed Dallas Buyers Club, wrote on Twitter on Monday that the director “didn’t romanticize life so much as saw the romance in life. He could find love stories in everything.”
Heart-broken
Previously, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley, Laura Dern, Jason Blum and Paul Feig, among others, reacted shocked to the death of Vallée. ,,My heart is broken. My friend. I love you,” Witherspoon, who stars in Vallée’s hit series Big Little Lies, wrote on Twitter. And Shailene Woodley wrote on Instagram: “I’m in shock. Completely shocked. My god, death is the worst there is. It makes no sense man. It does not make any sense. Maybe when we wake up tomorrow, you’ll laugh and say it was just a funny movie you made. That it’s not real.”
