The Hidden Life of Trees (2020) 94% “The film also provides context and understanding for what is currently occurring (and has been for decades) in our own province, and can inspire viewers to venture further into finding out what other secrets that trees have to share.” – Georgia Straight Sep 2, 2021 Full Review Cured (2020) 89% “We may know the overall route and outcome, but the details of how lesbian and gay rights activists waged a Sisyphean battle against the American Psychiatric Association are what fascinate in this comprehensive documentary.” – Georgia Straight Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Chained (2020) “Although there's some unevenness in the performances and chemistry between characters, the actors remain watchable and Kazadi does his brooding best, carrying much of the film.” – Georgia Straight Jun 21, 2021 Full Review Lapsis (2020) 95% “This engaging sci-fi drama-mystery takes a low-tech and unconventionally rural route to convincing effect in an astute high-concept parable about worker exploitation.” – Georgia Straight Feb 16, 2021 Full Review The Last Vermeer (2019) 68% “The majority of the tale -- which is compelling in itself -- is played out with a sombre and dutiful seriousness (Bang included) which undermines its complex underpinnings of intrigue.” – Georgia Straight Nov 23, 2020 Full Review The Donut King (2020) 97% “Not all of these elements sit comfortably together, based upon the film's structure and some rushed tonal transitions. Yet it's the strength of the story, and its twists, that sustains the piece, and it's a laudable effort.” – Georgia Straight Nov 20, 2020 Full Review Major Arcana (2018) 88% “In a time period without any shortage of troubles, it's therapeutic to watch someone attempt to build a new life out of the collapsed mess of an old one, regardless of whatever life unexpectedly throws in the way.” – Georgia Straight Oct 26, 2020 Full Review Penny Slinger: Out of the Shadows (2017) “It's not a complete picture of the artist, but provides a strong foundation for further considerations of her significance in the world of visual art.” – Georgia Straight Oct 21, 2020 Full Review My Prince Edward (2019) 100% “What initially appears to be a light drama about relationships peppered with comedic touches eschews typical romcom routes and gives way to a deeper search for personal freedom and independence amid societal demands.” – Georgia Straight Oct 19, 2020 Full Review So Pretty (2019) 100% “The wonderfully light ebb and flow of this visual poem reflects how ephemeral moments and interpersonal spaces are created, pass by, and vanish.” – Georgia Straight Oct 12, 2020 Full Review Ash (2019) “[A] haunting, unsettling psychological drama.” – Georgia Straight Aug 5, 2020 Full Review Girltrash: All Night Long (2014) “The film would benefit from living out, rather than talking about, the message it espouses.” – Georgia Straight May 21, 2020 Full Review Stories of Our Lives (2014) 100% “With an artful and intimate touch, director Jim Chuchu beautifully gives voice to the lives of gay and lesbian Kenyans in this omnibus film, shot in black-and-white.” – Georgia Straight May 14, 2019 Full Review La Once (2014) “The ever-encroaching issues of mortality hover at the sidelines, kept at bay by the central conceit of the group: the lifetime companionship the group provides is a consistent affirmation of life.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The Last Journey of Madam Phung (2014) 100% “While the pacing lags and the content leans too heavily on everyday banalities, the conflict between acceptance as performers and rejection as individuals provides an intriguing peek at rural Vietnamese society.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Disappearance (2017) 64% “Boudewijn Koole develops a deeply nuanced examination of intricate familial bonds by employing artful elliptical jumps, and an emphasis on lyrical and aural details.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review 2 Cool 2 Be 4gotten (2016) “Despite uneven acting...the film demonstrates admirable attunement to the introverted Felix as he hurtles down a coming-of-age trajectory with seemingly no way out other than disaster.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The Age of Love (2014) “Ultimately, the universal theme of seeking companionship, to fend off the loneliness that all of us experience, is one that audiences of all ages can relate to.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Call Me by Your Name (2017) 95% “There is much to relish in this passionate, visually rich romance...that particularly excels in its refreshing take on the permissiveness that's possible through liberalism guided by knowledge and experience.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Derby Crazy Love (2013) “The history of the sport is casually cobbled together but a particular strength of the film is how the women articulate their love for the sport.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Sarah Prefers to Run (2013) 50% “Although the charcater study doesn't necessarily break new ground, the film's overall crisp construction and Desmarais' spot-on performance keep things apace.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Babagwa (2013) “Although the dramatic trajectory plays out predictably, the story remains engaging nonetheless.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The Circle (2014) 100% “Stefan Haupt beautifully re-creates the enduring love story between two members, French-literature teacher Ernst Ostertag and hairdresser/drag queen Röbi Rapp, that survived the stresses of secrecy and homophobia of the 1950s.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The Backward Class (2014) “[The Backward Class] raises the important question of how far people are willing to go to truly empower the disadvantaged on a substantial level.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review The Green (2011) “Overall, though, the film provides an engaging dramatization of a worst-case scenario faced by a gay couple forging their lives in uncharted territory.” – Georgia Straight Aug 7, 2018 Full Review
