Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) 30% “Texas Chainsaw Massacre isn’t a complete write-off, but it’s far from a satisfying follow-up to its 1974 namesake, one of the best horror films of all time.” – Android Authority Jun 23, 2022 Full Review Aim for the Roses (2016) 100% “There is a poetic absurdity at the heart of John Boltons new musical docudrama that is nicely summed up by its title, Aim for the Roses: it implies something beautiful and delicate, but the reality is wilder and more dangerous.” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review The Pistol Shrimps (2016) 80% “Its hard not be drawn in by the players, each completely endearing in her own way. While Plazas star power lures us in, her teammates and rivals have no trouble keeping us invested. ” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Wizard Mode (2016) “Wizard Mode is both an engaging portrait of Gagno and a look into the fascinating world of competitive pinball.” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review A Matter of Time (2015) “Victoria songstress Kathryn Calder faced her mothers ALS diagnosis with stunning compassion and creativity...a deeply intimate, human story.” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Left on Purpose (2015) 88% “Compelling from start to finish, with a charismatic, quirky protagonist and a fascinating look back at the 60s counterculture and the disenchantment of young Americans during the Vietnam War.” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Ready or Not (2019) 89% “A darkly hilarious new entry in the ever-expanding cinema of discontent inspired by the one percenters and Donald Trump.” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review The Twentieth Century (2019) 95% “A glimpse into the debasement of a national icon is perhaps an appropriate reminder of Canadas dual role on the world stage simultaneously boastful exemplar and timid underdog.” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review The Gig is Up (2021) 100% “An expos of whats wrong with gig work, and why the promise of more freedom for workers has largely been broken, replaced by a dehumanizing reality.” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliché (2021) 98% “I Am a Clich explores how the musician rose to fame and faced immense pressures from the press and music industry as an outspoken and in-your-face icon. ” – The Tyee (British Columbia) Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Pre-Crime (2017) “It's sleek and stylish, but it's also more than a little creepy, offering aerial shots and satellite surveillance of cities and the people in them. You're made to feel guilty of spying and nervous about being watched all at once.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Signature Move (2017) 100% “The film's screenwriter and star Fawzia Mirza tells a deceptively straightforward coming-of-age love story. Deceptive in that every little detail communicates so much about the various overlapping identities of each character.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Tragedy Girls (2017) 85% “It's over the top, but it maintains a sense of real-worldness, making every murder feel that much more resonantand making laughing that much more uncomfortable.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Logan Lucky (2017) 92% “Logan Lucky is both a portrait of working-class America and a clever bit of wish-fulfillment in which a fundamentally broken but self-perpetuating system is put in its place to the benefit of those in need. ” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Paradox (2018) 29% “A weird, messy little movie...its meandering plot is oddly compelling, if unevenly so, propelled by Youngs hypnotic score.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Behind the Curve (2018) 91% “Behind the Curve offers portraits of flat Earthers as human beings who are worthy of our respect, and it makes a compelling case for empathy and dialogue.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Cam (2018) 93% “The psychological thriller Cam...turns sex work stereotypes on their heads to tell a chilling story of power and agency.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review First Man (2018) 87% “First Man is a thoughtful, lyrical exploration of masculinity as well as a celebration of human achievement.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Random Acts of Violence (2019) 59% “Random Acts of Violence has the familiar slasher movie trappings...but theres a freshness to what Baruchel is going for too. A broad attempt to look at how violence manifests, not just within the film but in how were made to confront it as viewers.” – Vice Feb 13, 2022 Full Review Finch (2021) 74% “At its core, Finch doesnt seem to know what it wants to be...Its a bit dark for kids, and a bit obvious for adults. It wants to be a parable but doesnt have enough to say. Ultimately, Finch would work better as a Pixar short.” – Android Authority Feb 11, 2022 Full Review The Guilty (2021) 74% “The film might get a bit less mileage from its shocking reveals if youve seen the Danish title its based on, but Gyllenhaals tortured performance and Fuquas tight direction make it a compelling character study in its own right. ” – Android Authority Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Kate (2021) 46% “Despite some impressive fight choreography and tight pacing, we're reaching a saturation point with this kind of cinema. John Wick and Birds of Prey have set the bar high in recent years, and while Kate is playing in their ballpark, it isn't keeping up.” – Android Authority Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Martyrs Lane (2021) 89% “A thoughtful, chilling look at how the past can haunt us, and grief cant simply be buried and forgotten.” – Android Authority Feb 11, 2022 Full Review He's All That (2021) 29% “By updating the basic premise of She's All That to add depth to its main characters and bridge the gap between cool kids and losers, He's All That waters down its own themes quite a bit.” – Android Authority Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Sweet Girl (2021) 24% “Its a little clumsy at times, but with some tight direction, gritty action scenes, and a strong main cast, Sweet Girl is worth checking out.” – Android Authority Feb 11, 2022 Full Review
