On Swift Horses (2024) 52% 3/5 “Awash in atmosphere and packed with minty mid-century detail, this is a self-consciously stylish film. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Apr 25, 2025 Full Review The Wedding Banquet (2025) 88% 3.5/5 “Even though The Wedding Banquet can be a bit earnest and obvious and explication-heavy, there’s something appealing about its warm affirmation of queer found families.” – Winnipeg Free Press Apr 17, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% 3.5/5 “While the premise is a bit silly and the subsequent action a bit implausible, there’s a brisk, unassuming skill in the way Landon handles things. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Apr 14, 2025 Full Review The Penguin Lessons (2024) 80% 2.5/5 “What the film tries to do, with increasingly ineffectual and awkward results, is to keep the humour light, even sappy, while using Argentina’s national trauma as a dramatic plot device.” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 31, 2025 Full Review Nocturnes (2024) 93% 5/5 “From stunning visuals of mist moving across mountaintops to the subtle soundscape of whispering, whirring insect susurration, this is a poetic exploration of an intricately interrelated natural world. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% 5/5 “What’s intriguing about this cool, calculated, expertly put-together flick is that it’s as deceptive as its characters: forget international stakes and big flashy action sequences. This is essentially a chamber piece, with guns.” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Paddington in Peru (2024) 93% 4/5 “If it doesn’t measure up to the first two Paddington movies, the story is still way ahead of most children’s entertainment in terms of its creativity and thoughtfulness.” – Winnipeg Free Press Feb 15, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% “Colossally silly as a love story, this CGI extravaganza is almost as preposterous as an action-adventure-sci-fi-horror whatever-the-hell-this-is flick.” – Winnipeg Free Press Feb 15, 2025 Full Review Love Hurts (2025) 19% 3/5 “If the film’s connective tissue is flimsy and frequently derivative, the fight scenes are precise, inventive and often funny, especially when the combatants start using office supplies or kitchenware as weapons.” – Winnipeg Free Press Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Dark Match (2024) 68% 3.5/5 “Dark Match’s wrestling sequences are entertaining, but the film could do a lot more with the smackdown between what’s real and what’s fake.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 96% 5/5 “While the film is laugh-out-loud funny — literally — it is also, by the end, as the wandering characters are finally brought together, ineffably sad and delicate.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jan 24, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% 3/5 “Scripter Kate Gersten, a 온라인카지노추천 writer making her feature-film debut, sets up a deliberately simple narrative timeline and then breaks it into fragments, some evocative and moving, some a little too slight. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Young Werther (2024) 71% 3/5 “Booth’s performance helps modernize the figure of Werther, making him vain and extravagant and slightly deluded but finishing off with real emotional sweetness and a light comic touch.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jan 13, 2025 Full Review The Girl With the Needle (2024) 92% 4/5 “This may be a true-crime story, but the narrative structure is unusual and a bit sly. By the time the full immensity of the central crime is revealed, we are caught tight in its grip, along with Karoline.” – Winnipeg Free Press Dec 20, 2024 Full Review Nutcrackers (2024) 47% 3.5/5 “Nutcrackers might sound formulaic, but it feels a bit indie, thanks to a loose, lo-fi, purposely aimless narrative and some oddball direction by David Gordon Green.” – Winnipeg Free Press Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Hot Frosty (2024) 74% 3/5 “Hot Frosty packs in a lot of the entries from your Christmas Movie Bingo Card, including cookie baking, decking the halls and a dressing-room montage, as we wait to see whether Kathy’s heart will thaw before Jack’s body melts.” – Winnipeg Free Press Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story (2024) 2.5/5 “Basically a cheery, shiny advert for the NFL, the Kansas City tourist board and Big Eggnog.” – Winnipeg Free Press Dec 6, 2024 Full Review Gladiator II (2024) 70% 3/5 “While this sequel remains consistently watchable, Scott and Scarpa (who recently collaborated on the disastrous Napoleon) never catch the electrifying vibe of its progenitor.” – Winnipeg Free Press Nov 25, 2024 Full Review Heretic (2024) 91% 3.5/5 “Playing with his one-time light-comic image, Grant turns geniality into something monstrous and threatening. ” – Winnipeg Free Press Nov 12, 2024 Full Review Rumours (2024) 75% 4/5 “With a mix of righteous satirical rage and pitch-dark, pancake-flat mirth, Maddin and the Johnson brothers have made the end of the world eminently watchable.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Conclave (2024) 93% 4/5 “Balancing intelligent theological discourse and pulpy cinematic pleasures, this ecclesiastical melodrama starts with the death of a much-loved reforming pope.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 25, 2024 Full Review Lee (2023) 67% 3/5 “Unfortunately, despite all its worthy intentions, Lee remains a film in which an adventurous, unconventional woman is slotted into the parameters of a safe, conventional biopic.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 1, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% 3.5/5 “The Substance may not be perfect, but it’s something, all right.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 1, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% 3.5/5 “For viewers looking for solid horror with an effective and eerie comic undertone, Speak No Evil says a lot.” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 19, 2024 Full Review The Front Room (2024) 41% 2/5 “The Front Room is clearly aiming to be edgy, unclassifiable and very A24-ish, but in the end, it’s mostly confused and pointlessly mean.” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 19, 2024 Full Review
