Havoc (2025) 69% 2/4 “A movie that never quite feels real and where the relentless barrage of bullets feebly attempts to distract us from the lazy screenwriting. Even the Christmas snow looks fake.” – Toronto Star Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 93% 3/5 “Everything a sequel should and should not be.” – Toronto Star Apr 23, 2025 Full Review Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) 94% 4/5 “Hindsight, and appreciation of the new coat of paint George Lucas has lovingly applied to his brainchild, has brought me closer to being a Star Wars admirer, if still not a devout fan.” – Toronto Star Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Sinners (2025) 98% 3.5/4 “This is horror with a sense of purpose and an appreciation of music and history, grooving the body and gnawing at the conscience even as it nibbles on the neck.” – Toronto Star Apr 17, 2025 Full Review A Minecraft Movie (2025) 48% 3/4 “The movie takes a grown-up absurdist’s approach to adapting a kid’s video game for the big screen, with mostly entertaining results that should appeal to more than just squares.” – Toronto Star Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Death of a Unicorn (2025) 54% 1/4 “This comedy-horror hybrid, the feature debut of writer-director Alex Scharfman, is barely funny, rarely scary, often cruel, and balks at the opportunity to say anything meaningful.” – Toronto Star Mar 31, 2025 Full Review The Alto Knights (2025) 40% 3/4 “De Niro’s solid acting contrasts nicely with the appealing looseness of Levinson’s direction, which relies more on characters to set the mood, rather than extravagant locations or action set pieces.” – Toronto Star Mar 19, 2025 Full Review The Electric State (2025) 15% 1/4 “Imagine if someone were foolish enough to blow a reported $320 million (U.S.) on a dystopian update of The Wizard of Oz in which Dorothy is surrounded by multiple Tin Men but no Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion or Toto. That clanking calamity regrettably exists.” – Toronto Star Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Mickey 17 (2025) 77% “Mickey 17 leaves us feeling like we’ve been cloned ourselves, split between admiration for Bong’s audacious vision and frustration at its muddled execution.” – Toronto Star Mar 6, 2025 Full Review Last Breath (2025) 80% 2/4 “This version has many nail-biting moments, with tension amped up by a bombastic score, but it feels derivative. Drama has been sacrificed to verisimilitude, and to what end?” – Toronto Star Mar 1, 2025 Full Review Parthenope (2024) 45% 2.5/4 “Parthenope, Paolo Sorrentino’s latest cinema exuberance, flutters like its recurring motif of a silk scarf caught in a Mediterranean breeze -- tantalizing, yet just out of reach.” – Toronto Star Feb 21, 2025 Full Review The Monkey (2025) 79% “With Perkins playing it all for grim laughs, The Monkey lacks any real sense of the consequences of human folly and the dangers of toying with fate. ” – Toronto Star Feb 21, 2025 Full Review Captain America: Brave New World (2025) 48% 1.5/4 “The sorry scribblers seem to be marking time for a bigger and better Marvel gathering to come, but they could have tried harder to hide their boredom.” – Toronto Star Feb 14, 2025 Full Review Becoming Led Zeppelin (2025) 83% 3.5/4 “Not much footage exists of early Led Zeppelin shows, and what there is often resembles Impressionist paintings when blown up to IMAX heights from its likely 16-mm film sources. Yet the sound is consistently fantastic and the energy is electric.” – Toronto Star Feb 10, 2025 Full Review Scream 2 (1997) 82% 3/4 “A howling great time. ” – Toronto Star Feb 6, 2025 Full Review DJ Ahmet (2025) 89% 3/4 “Unkovski’s coming-of-age comedy finds much to smile about in a North Macedonian village where conservative traditions clash with modern times.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Coexistence, My Ass! (2025) 92% 3/4 “As the volatility of discourse around this issue has increased following the tragic events of Oct. 7 and the horrific Israel-Hamas war, so, too, has the boldness of Shuster-Eliassi and Fares, two serious minds asking difficult questions.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Didn't Die (2025) 63% 3/4 “The look is distinctly lo-fi -- so was Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” -- but the blend of humour and horror is high value.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Folktales (2025) 79% 3/4 “It’s beautiful to watch humanity’s best friends alleviate modern coming-of-age anxieties in troubled teens. The chilly Arctic climes make for an especially illuminating backdrop.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review André is an Idiot (2025) 92% 3/4 “The film, wry as it is, doubles as a cheeky public service announcement aimed at those who neglect to pay attention to love and their biological needs.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review The Stringer (2025) 100% 3/4 “He says this iconic moment in photojournalism might have been captured by a local freelance photographer, not Ut. It’s a bold claim, one staunchly refuted by AP, yet doubts raised by the film aren’t easily dismissed.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Twinless (2025) 95% 3/4 “The screenplay, smarter (and perhaps more uncomfortable) than most, explores the tricky territory between grief and loneliness, where people are at their most vulnerable.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 97% 3/4 “This is a thoughtful, literary and visually sumptuous adaptation. Joel Edgerton’s everyman protagonist carries this saga of loss amid the wilderness with the weight of a world being tamed before his astonished eyes.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 95% 3.5/4 “The story is expansive; its humanist lens, however, is tightly focused on Agnes and those close to her. Co-stars Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges and Kelly McCormack also excel, but this is Victor's glorious moment.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review 2000 Meters to Andriivka (2025) 95% 3.5/4 “Chernov’s gut-wrenching doc is a reminder of the heroics and cost of this brutal war.” – Toronto Star Feb 5, 2025 Full Review
