A Kandahar Away (2019) “Balancing the emotions that come with the intergenerational conflicts of an immigrant family, Jamal's film is a lucid exploration of Canadian identity.” – POV Magazine Oct 25, 2019 Full Review I'm Leaving Now (2018) 71% “Watching Felipe languish before the camera, it is hard not to question what he got out of the experience, and why the filmmakers couldn't have aided by him. The observational style of the doc makes one feel helpless. But is that productive?” – POV Magazine Sep 26, 2019 Full Review Anbessa (2019) 80% “While tackling an important topic, the film feels dulled. It's a disservice to the depiction of the sprightly Asalif's playtime, and the gravity of his community's situation.” – POV Magazine May 10, 2019 Full Review Confucian Dream (2019) “With great sensitivity, Confucian Dream presents the viewer with the specific outcome of a woman's conversion, but at its heart, it explores universal truths about relationships.” – POV Magazine May 7, 2019 Full Review The Pickup Game (2019) 80% “Without an active critique, the film has little power to expose. Instead, it offers a platform for future pickup artists.” – POV Magazine May 2, 2019 Full Review Because We Are Girls (2019) 100% “The film does a capable job at what it's doing -- but the repetition of this genre of sexual violence documentary speaks to a stagnation in society, where we are not progressing when it comes to helping and protecting the survivors of assault.” – POV Magazine May 2, 2019 Full Review “Examining the diverse roles women take up in society, Raverdy creates a uniquely sensitive ode to the women around her.” – POV Magazine Apr 29, 2019 Full Review “The Hypnotist is a remarkably well-crafted film. With a uniquely unified visual aesthetic, it is a pleasure to watch.” – POV Magazine Apr 29, 2019 Full Review “While Animus Animalis excels at this meditation on human and animal subjectivity, it is nonetheless a disturbingly nonchalant look at animal death.” – POV Magazine Apr 29, 2019 Full Review The Magic Life of V (2019) 73% “Veera is a sympathetic and engaging figure, but the film is missing something. Dwelling on shallow drama, we learn little of what it means to cope.” – POV Magazine Apr 29, 2019 Full Review “Though not at impactful as it should have been, Campo is nevertheless an intriguing reflection on humanity's relation to the world.” – POV Magazine Apr 29, 2019 Full Review Havana, From on High (2019) “Depicted with its own style of visuals, sounds and rhythm, the rooftops are their own realm, into which we are permitted to enter in order to learn from the inhabitants as they discuss the things most important to them.” – POV Magazine Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Teen Spirit (2018) 73% 1/4 “With so many missteps, you must question why Teen Spirit was even released.” – Globe and Mail Apr 18, 2019 Full Review Five Feet Apart (2019) 52% 1/4 “A melodrama without any bite to it, Five Feet Apart is clichéd and exploitative.” – Globe and Mail Mar 15, 2019 Full Review Wonder Park (2019) 35% 3/4 “Wonder Park brings a welcomed depth to its base plot of a girl creating roller coasters. While the premise that reads like a generic fantasy-adventure-comedy for kids, the film manages to intelligently traverse a wide range of emotions.” – Globe and Mail Mar 14, 2019 Full Review Snowtime! 2 (2018) 1.5/4 “Although Racetime is incredibly capable in its sweetly depicted drama, the film remains predictable, with any attempt to generate some suspense (or at least uncertainty) falling flat.” – Globe and Mail Jan 25, 2019 Full Review Disappearance (2017) 64% 2/5 “Ultimately, even with these images, Disappearance is not quite strong enough for a lasting impact.” – Scene Creek Sep 28, 2018 Full Review Her Smell (2018) 83% “The film is unwieldy, a brash regurgitation of cinematic and narrative styles with a regressive heart.” – Another Gaze Sep 27, 2018 Full Review The Wind (2018) 82% 2/5 “The film has a conspicuous lack: intent on a political discussion of gender while situating itself within the frontier's violence, The Wind's social critique only goes so far.” – Scene Creek Sep 18, 2018 Full Review The Truth About Killer Robots (2018) 64% “Killer Robots is essentially a film of style over substance. It has a look, it has emotional overtones (mainly that of a fear of technology), but it never dives too deeply into its subjects.” – POV Magazine Sep 14, 2018 Full Review The Elephant Queen (2018) 91% “The Elephant Queen is so kid-friendly it feels neutered... The documentary is without a doubt charming, but it is also too innocuous for its subject matter.” – POV Magazine Sep 14, 2018 Full Review Searching for Ingmar Bergman (2018) 91% “By reiterating her own cinematic output, cultural importance, and significance in the story, von Trotta rather uses Bergman as a launchpad to discuss authorship and challenge the idea of a canon.” – Another Gaze Sep 14, 2018 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% 2/5 “The film can be best summed up as "bland": with bland performances in a bland looking film, it is blandly entertaining, and blandly inspiring” – Scene Creek Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Touch Me Not (2018) 59% “The objectifying gaze Pintilie demonstrates for marginalized bodies feels completely intentional rather than excusable, well-meaning ignorance in a quest for inclusivity.” – Cinema Scope Sep 11, 2018 Full Review Complicity (Kazenoki wa koto no youni) (2018) 100% “Complicity is an almost mawkish film, but its sentiment works. Moments which could be tastelessly melodramatic, or even emotionally manipulative, manage to hit the right chord despite themselves.” – Cinema Scope Sep 11, 2018 Full Review
