The Accountant 2 (2025) 78% “While the sequel is worse off for the absence of original costars Anna Kendrick, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Tambor and Jean Smart, the easy back-and-forth chemistry between Affleck and Bernthal as they paint the town blood-red provides certain dividends.” – Globe and Mail Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Legend of Ochi (2025) 80% “Like a wildly sketched picture handed to you by a child not your own, you kind of just pick it up, nod politely, then move on with your day.” – Globe and Mail Apr 24, 2025 Full Review The Shrouds (2024) 74% “With The Shrouds, the filmmaker -- not only one of Canada’s greatest creations, but cinema’s, too -- has delivered what might be his career-defining masterpiece.” – Globe and Mail Apr 21, 2025 Full Review The Amateur (2025) 61% “Watching The Amateur confidently unfold, the movie reveals itself to be a tiny little theatrical miracle in this streaming-dominant era.” – Globe and Mail Apr 11, 2025 Full Review Drop (2025) 84% “Director Christopher Landon injects the entire affair with so much stylistic verve and narrative propulsion that, like the best kind of first date, it whips by almost too quickly.” – Globe and Mail Apr 10, 2025 Full Review Warfare (2025) 93% “Alternately tedious, cacophonous and stultifying, the latest show of force from writer-director Alex Garland... just might be the most unnecessarily unpleasant cinematic experience you will endure this year.” – Globe and Mail Apr 7, 2025 Full Review Freaky Tales (2024) 74% “Soaking the streets in blood is only as much fun if you also have enough compelling characters to splash in such puddles of gore. And Freaky Tales has neither the patience nor the depth to imagine any one person or story with a legitimate hook.” – Globe and Mail Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% “A pharmaceutical-industry satire so flaccid that it’s in desperate need of Cialis, Death of a Unicorn is destined to fade into the mythical margins of cinematic history, with future moviegoers convinced that the film never really existed at all.” – Globe and Mail Mar 27, 2025 Full Review Darkest Miriam (2024) 85% “While the result can sometimes appear as if though it’s a collection of craftily staged home movies stitched together, it only takes a few scenes to become fully locked into Veninger’s personal life.” – Globe and Mail Mar 26, 2025 Full Review A Working Man (2025) 49% “It’s a solid notch in Statham’s career, but nothing that will change anyone’s mind about the actor. But hey, it’s a living, right?” – Globe and Mail Mar 26, 2025 Full Review Magazine Dreams (2023) 80% “While the story itself bottoms out long before the film’s finale arrives, there is no question that Majors delivers a magnificently unsettling performance.” – Globe and Mail Mar 21, 2025 Full Review Your Tomorrow (2024) “The wonderful new documentary Your Tomorrow is a loving and wistful look at the remarkable legacy and uncertain future of Ontario Place.” – Globe and Mail Mar 20, 2025 Full Review Disney's Snow White (2025) 40% “For every impressive aesthetic choice, Webb makes a disastrous one, such as the decision to render all seven dwarfs as fully digital creations: Grumpy, Doc, Sleepy, Dopey -- they’re all highly unnerving spoonfuls of nightmare fuel.” – Globe and Mail Mar 20, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 40% “Every single beat of The Alto Knights feels like an historical footnote from Goodfellas or The Godfather Part II stretched out to interminable feature length -- musty, dusty, dry. This new-old racket? It’s pretty fuggedable.” – Globe and Mail Mar 19, 2025 Full Review We Forgot to Break Up (2024) “While director Karen Knox’s new film aspires to join its cinematic predecessors in a kind of greatest-hits album of hard-rocking Canadiana, its final mix feels more like a collection of solid, but not quite chart-topping, singles.” – Globe and Mail Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Black Bag (2025) 96% “Watching the new spy thriller is akin to lighting up a postcoital cigarette. It is just that satisfying.” – Globe and Mail Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (2025) 100% “There is a beautiful, almost transformative kind of pain in watching the epic new Canadian comedy Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie. The sensation starts in the throat as a good and hearty chuckle... And then come the tears. So many tears.” – Globe and Mail Mar 10, 2025 Full Review Night of the Zoopocalypse (2024) 96% “I suppose that any movie that acts as a pint-sized gateway to Barker should be applauded. But maybe make sure that your household’s night-lights are properly charged for a few evenings afterward.” – Globe and Mail Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “The great trick of Mickey 17 is that you end up rooting for this pathetic little ne’er-do-well. He’s a loser whose only purpose on this mortal coil is to shuffle off of it, but he’s our loser, dang it.” – Globe and Mail Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 80% “Director Alex Parkinson has an excellent handle on the logistical details of the perilous work... But the filmmaker struggles to tether all the technicalities to the human drama needed to make the endeavour relatable to us landlubbers. ” – Globe and Mail Mar 1, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% “An annoying, snarky and slight endeavour that just about kills itself in its bid to satisfy all the many cinema-starved sickos out there. Like the film’s central supernatural plaything there isn’t much to The Monkey other than a rictus smile. ” – Globe and Mail Feb 20, 2025 Full Review The Gorge (2025) 63% “Ultimately The Gorge is a date-movie that rudely insists on going Dutch. Best to just ghost this would-be suitor and keep swiping right through the Apple 온라인카지노추천+ queue.” – Globe and Mail Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% “With the politically incoherent, creatively inert and just plain insulting sequel Captain America: Brave New World, the MCU brain trust led by uber-producer Kevin Feige has truly flatlined.” – Globe and Mail Feb 13, 2025 Full Review You're Cordially Invited (2025) 48% “You’re Cordially Invited isn’t going to enjoy as long a legacy as any of Ferrell’s earlier projects, but it demands more of your attention, and in turn delivers more amusement, than just about any other comedy in recent memory, big screen or otherwise.” – Globe and Mail Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Paying for It (2024) 92% “It doesn’t matter which prism you view Lee’s film through -- they all intersect and add up together so seamlessly and confidently that you can choose your own adventure without sacrificing the whole.” – Globe and Mail Jan 29, 2025 Full Review
