Opus (2025) 41% “Unfortunately, Opus isn’t able to keep up the tension of its cult-horror mystery, speeding through its reveals with a surprising laziness that feels counter to the care it initially took in building out its story.” – Globe and Mail Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Dahomey (2024) 99% “A welcome companion to the rich textures and spirits of Diop’s lauded feature film, Atlantics, Dahomey offers itself as a site of essential reflection and a necessary reminder of the living poetics that cinema is capable of.” – Globe and Mail Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Venom: The Last Dance (2024) 40% “The Last Dance remains steadfast in the franchise’s commitment to storytelling that, like a pot of water that never quite hits boiling point, is neither so-bad-it’s-good nor so bad it’s raucously entertaining, even if only unintentionally so.” – Globe and Mail Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Never Let Go (2024) 58% “It is the director’s polished technical work and deft weaving of themes alongside a lush but dreadful sense atmosphere and looming danger that shape the film’s most engaging moments.” – Globe and Mail Sep 19, 2024 Full Review The Substance (2024) 89% “Fargeat’s no-holds-barred, wholly beyond your wildest expectations approach with The Substance will leave genre fans kicking their feet up in glee.” – Globe and Mail Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Speak No Evil (2024) 83% “Where the original film utilized spectacle as a means of exploring an entirely wicked philosophy, Watkins engages spectacle as spectacle, leaving audiences cheering along rather than utterly despondent.” – Globe and Mail Sep 13, 2024 Full Review Strange Darling (2023) 96% “It’s filmmaking that is preoccupied with the performance of auteurist grandeur rather than the basics of good scriptwriting.” – Globe and Mail Aug 22, 2024 Full Review Chestnut (2023) 50% 2.5/4 “Compact in its runtime, “Chestnut” offers a softly lyrical glimpse of young life on the precipice of a new and uncertain future. ” – RogerEbert.com Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Thelma (2024) 98% “A tender comedy at heart, Thelma is a delightful romp that focuses on the different textures of the human experience and the poignant (and sometimes very silly) moments that come with it.” – Globe and Mail Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Backspot (2023) 87% “An energetic coming-of-age film that pairs the tonalities of a rugged sports flick with the depth of a well-scripted drama, Backspot is a promising debut from Waterson that will leave audiences cheering.” – Globe and Mail May 28, 2024 Full Review Babes (2024) 88% “Unfortunately, what is a tender and at times fantastically raunchy film... is continually undermined by writing that is so self-satisfied with its quips and gags that it bypasses the work of actually building out a complex story.” – Globe and Mail May 24, 2024 Full Review The Strangers: Chapter 1 (2024) 21% “While definitely an easy watch, Harlin’s film will leave fans of the original wanting more than Chapter 1′s somewhat uninspired and par-for-the-course delivery.” – Globe and Mail May 16, 2024 Full Review Occupied City (2023) 72% “McQueen offers a film that isn’t dispassionate, but rather, with an awareness of such a lengthy history of narrative representation, likens itself to testimony rather than re-enactment.” – Globe and Mail Apr 25, 2024 Full Review The First Omen (2024) 83% “While unable to fully deliver on the promise of its artistic potential, The First Omen remains, nonetheless, a fun, low stakes introduction for horror newbies to The Omen franchise and an enjoyable enough tribute to the original film.” – Globe and Mail Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Immaculate (2024) 71% “The movie draws out its storytelling in a way that seems all too literal and lacking in the kind of narrative stamina that keeps horror fans on their toes.” – Globe and Mail Mar 21, 2024 Full Review Origin (2023) 81% “While Ellis-Taylor is, as always, magnetic onscreen, Origin fails her talents, as well as both its characters and story, by reproducing the flaws of Wilkerson’s book with a stoic conviction.” – Globe and Mail Jan 18, 2024 Full Review Leave the World Behind (2023) 74% “For more than two hours, we are completely immersed in the filmmaker’s compelling and deeply studied world of dread. It’s unfortunate, then, that the film’s conclusion feels too easy and abrupt...” – Globe and Mail Nov 25, 2023 Full Review Outlaw Johnny Black (2023) 66% “White has offered a jumbled array of all-too-well-trod tropes and stereotypes that, all in all, can’t seem to hit the mark in terms of finding the sweet spot of being “so bad it’s good.”” – Los Angeles Times Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Strays (2023) 54% “Is zooming into a Great Dane’s penis really that funny?” – Globe and Mail Aug 17, 2023 Full Review The Blackening (2022) 87% “A wry, wonderfully meta sendup of the genre and the roles the Black characters (and audiences) have often played within it.” – Globe and Mail Jun 14, 2023 Full Review The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster (2023) 84% “The Angry Black Girl and Her Monster settles for a two-step-forward, one-step-back mode of storytelling.” – Los Angeles Times Jun 8, 2023 Full Review The Melt Goes on Forever: The Art & Times of David Hammons (2022) 80% “The film’s focus on tracing Hammons’ work through capital, be it social or monetary, leaves the film with a bottom-heavy feeling of what can only be described as ick.” – Los Angeles Times Jun 2, 2023 Full Review L'immensità (2022) 85% “A love letter to its characters and their real-life counterparts, the film is, above all, a witness to the kind of expansive love and kinship that is formed in the margins but nonetheless expansive in its imaginings of the world.” – Los Angeles Times May 12, 2023 Full Review A Thousand and One (2023) 97% “Wisely locating her characters at the intersection of race, class and gender, Rockwell takes stock of their losses and challenges, their joys and moments of respite, all within a city that is indifferent to them.” – Globe and Mail Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Magic Mike's Last Dance (2023) 48% “Soderbergh’s film tosses the many lessons of its predecessors, leaving us with a movie that is utterly devoid of its own magic.” – Globe and Mail Feb 10, 2023 Full Review
