Broken Bird (2024) 100% “Equal parts psychological mystery, romance, and cool examination of taboos around love and death, that, when all combined, feels like a provocation.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 25, 2025 Full Review Two Women (2025) 95% “Well-made fun, all the while sneakily delivering reasons why being an adult, a parent, a spouse, does not have to suck. ” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Eephus (2024) 100% “Deceptively simple and in no hurry whatsoever, it makes Eephus one of the great ‘hanging out movies.’ Lund also edited the film, and the passage of time measured by the rhythm of innings is near perfection. ... One of the best films I have seen this year.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Reveries: The Mind Prison (2025) “It is just the kind of Lo-Fi goofery that one hopes to stumble into at midnight at a film festival, or on the television in the chill-out room at a house party. ” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Scared Shitless (2024) 4/5 “Fun little Canadian creature feature. ... You simply know all around good filmmaking when you see it. Everyone involved in Scared Shitless is very good at their job. The result is a great time at the movies. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 24, 2024 Full Review Riff Raff (2024) 59% 3/5 “Riff Raff does not want you to take anything too seriously. And yet it does want you to take it seriously enough ... offers more plot reveals, and character twists, than your average mystery movie or paranoid thriller. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 21, 2024 Full Review By the Stream (2024) 100% “For those looking to enter his particular world and worldview, I cannot think of a better entry point. ... This might be his highest concept yet: secretly sneaking in a primer on how to pay attention to the details of his kind of filmmaking. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Sharp Corner (2024) 94% “A kind of minor-key Canadian answer to Falling Down. ... Has the uncommon good sense to drive its point home slowly, and with purpose.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 13, 2024 Full Review The Assessment (2024) 82% “Fleur Fortuné’s debut feature, The Assessment, is a saturated, button-pushing provocation on parental anxiety. It is a Kobayashi Maru wrapped in a Voight-Kampff test inside the Stanford Prison experiment. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Relay (2024) 80% “How Ash weaponizes loopholes and quirks in the system ... makes this thriller a more textured and unique chase film. The perfect synthesis of character actor and movie star, Ahmed is game here for both the sprint, and the marathon.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Anora (2024) 93% “The experience of watching Anora is akin to a spontaneous and unexpected invite to a epic house-wrecking party. ... Its visual language and layered bedlam evoke a re-envisioning of Pretty Woman ... by the Safdie Brothers. ... A real banger. 

” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% “At 81, now as much as ever, Mike Leigh is attuned to both the bombast and nuance of people. They are hard, and the devil is indeed in the details. I am grateful that he keeps making these movies.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 11, 2024 Full Review The Brutalist (2024) 93% “Delivers huge on every technical front. ... Across-the-board stellar performances. 

... The story remains both familiar and unpredictable, simultaneously. This might be the real genius here. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 11, 2024 Full Review Ghost Cat Anzu (2024) 67% “Because it feels like a distorted fun-house mirror of the Ghibli-verse, this elevates the film, if for no other reason than that it is committed to being so darn saucy about it all. ” – ScreenAnarchy Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Bookworm (2024) 91% “In spite of, or because of, its sometimes silly, sometimes serious, alternating tone, it is a fun father-daughter adventure for those who like a little ‘edge’ to their family films. ” – ScreenAnarchy Jul 19, 2024 Full Review Cuckoo (2024) 79% 4/5 “An oblique hybrid of creature feature, haunted hotel, dysfunctional family drama, and body horror. ... What holds everything together is exceptional direction, production design, and the tough yet vulnerable central performance from Hunter Schaefer.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Humane (2024) 71% “Apocalypses in Canadian cinema tend to occur in slow motion, and have a subversive touch of quiet absurdity. ... Cronenberg succeeds in getting the tone right. ... Humane is perhaps not quiet, or absurd, enough to join the canon just yet.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 21, 2024 Full Review The Coffee Table (2022) 88% “Makes for a very conflicting and unsettling movie going experience. It is original in its own way. It is also the worst date movie, ever.” – ScreenAnarchy Apr 17, 2024 Full Review Dad & Step-Dad (2023) 100% “Not since wandering into Kevin Smith’s Clerks ... in 1994 have I immediately glommed on to a micro-budget comedy as something that can be watched over and over again. ... A small, but significant, revelation on the power of improv and DIY filmmaking. ” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 18, 2024 Full Review Dune: Part Two (2024) 92% 3/5 “Any pointed critique might get lost here in the spectacular sunsets, sleek knife fights, opulent wardrobes and blockbuster power. ... It grinds the rough edges off the source material in favour of symmetry and spectacle.” – ScreenAnarchy Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Ghostwritten (2021) 71% “It is a short but slow burner of a film, one that feels like it was made in the early 90s Sundance boom-era, but possesses shadows of a premonition of the 21st century streaming micro-budget digital world that would follow. ” – ScreenAnarchy Feb 9, 2024 Full Review Hundreds of Beavers (2022) 97% “If you have even the slightest love for slapstick comedy and goofball antics, then this will undoubtedly be the most gut-busting time you have at the movies this year. ... Hundreds of Beavers is very good. See it with friends.” – ScreenAnarchy Nov 15, 2023 Full Review The Pigeon Tunnel (2023) 96% “Morris and Cornwell, dwelling on juxtapositions such as these at length, is quite a lot of substance and material. What an opportunity to be the fly on the wall for such wonderful stuff.” – ScreenAnarchy Oct 19, 2023 Full Review Fingernails (2023) 60% “The cardinal sin of Fingernails, perhaps, is wasting a pair of chemistry-rich performances from two thoroughbred actors ... Jessie Buckley and Riz Ahmed. ” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 22, 2023 Full Review Daddio (2023) 76% “This would be the perfect film to stumble upon in the now old world of ‘channel surfing.’ The serendipity of finding and hanging out with these two, listening to good conversation, equal parts sparring and connecting.” – ScreenAnarchy Sep 20, 2023 Full Review
