Come Away (2020) 29% EDIT “Two origin stories in one holds promise on the page, and it's entertaining seeing all of the Peter/Alice myths explained. But while the magic simmers, it never comes to full boil.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Nov 25, 2020 Full Review My Spy (2020) 49% 6/10 EDIT “Director Peter Segal makes sure things hum along smoothly, if predictably. He's aided in no small part by young Coleman, previously seen in Big Little Lies, who portrays just the right mix of adorable and annoying.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Mar 19, 2020 Full Review Greed (2019) 50% 5/10 EDIT “We knew from the title that we'd be confronting one of the deadly sins; we just didn't know we'd still be doing penance as the credits rolled.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Mar 13, 2020 Full Review Downhill (2020) 36% 6/10 EDIT “The anticipated pairing of Louis-Dreyfus and Ferrell results in fewer laughs than expected thanks to a script that never dares to go off-piste.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Feb 15, 2020 Full Review The Gentlemen (2019) 76% 7/10 EDIT “Ritchie toys with the British class system and our North American preoccupation with it, but mostly The Gentlemen is just good, raunchy fun.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jan 24, 2020 Full Review Dolittle (2020) 15% 5/10 EDIT “Lamentably, all the acting cred in the world can't save a film weighed down by a rudderless script and intermittently flat visuals.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jan 17, 2020 Full Review 1917 (2019) 88% 10/10 EDIT “Mendes doesn't hit us over the head with politicking but rather lets us form our own opinion as we journey along with the men.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Just Mercy (2019) 85% 7/10 EDIT “Bolstered by strong performances throughout, the film enters as a strong voice in the ongoing conversation about race and bigotry in the U.S. justice system.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jan 3, 2020 Full Review The Song of Names (2019) 39% 6/10 EDIT “The script, based on the novel by classical music critic Norman Lebrecht, fails to fully redeem a film that, while pleasing and well-executed, can't connect to its audience in the first hour.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Dec 27, 2019 Full Review Little Women (2019) 95% 7/10 EDIT “It caters only to those familiar with Alcott's work while alienating potential new devotees. But for that former group Gerwig's film is wonderful; the performances, careful attention to detail and slightly modernized characters make it so.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Dec 20, 2019 Full Review Frozen II (2019) 77% 5/10 EDIT “Anna ends up singing "hello darkness, I'm ready to succumb" and "this grief has a gravity, it pulls me down." Like much of the rest of the film, it's a bummer.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Nov 26, 2019 Full Review The Good Liar (2019) 64% 6/10 EDIT “Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen, Dame and Sir, respectively, elevate whatever cinematic endeavor they're a part of. But even these Brit heavyweights can't plug the holes in the ultimately leaky boat that is The Good Liar.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Nov 21, 2019 Full Review Last Christmas (2019) 47% 6/10 EDIT “Feel free to indulge those too-sweet holiday cravings; just remember to brush afterward.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Nov 8, 2019 Full Review The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (2019) 97% 8/10 EDIT “An insightful film that quietly challenges our own prejudices and reminds us that it's a long way down from that moral high ground.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Nov 5, 2019 Full Review Parasite (2019) 99% 9/10 EDIT “A standing ovation to cinematographer Kyung-pyo Hong, who also lensed the visually impressive Snowpiercer, for setting the perfect tone.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Oct 25, 2019 Full Review Maleficent: Mistress of Evil (2019) 40% 5/10 EDIT “It's a nice change to have a Disney offering that isn't a frame-by-frame live action remake of an animated film but when you have a cast this committed, it behooves you to give them something to do.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Oct 18, 2019 Full Review Pain and Glory (2019) 96% 8/10 EDIT “Pain and Glory is Almodóvar's best work in years, because it sings its message rather than shouts it.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Joker (2019) 68% 7/10 EDIT “The role itself, fails to connect, feeling more like pomp and posturing than a real-world study of mental illness. But that's how it's meant to be. This is a comic book, after all: the real world should only seep in so far.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Oct 10, 2019 Full Review The Death of Dick Long (2019) 75% EDIT “Despite the complex characters and standout performances, if the twist doesn't put you off, then the uneven pacing will.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Sep 27, 2019 Full Review The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019) 95% 8/10 EDIT “The Peanut Butter Falcon is a tender and simple drama about finding your strength, with a deceptively nuanced performance by LaBeouf, who continues to be one of the most compelling actors working today.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Aug 23, 2019 Full Review Light of My Life (2019) 80% 8/10 EDIT “Affleck and Pniowsky find a genuine, easy rapport onscreen.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Aug 16, 2019 Full Review Vita & Virginia (2018) 41% 6/10 EDIT “Alas, we don't quite believe it.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jul 12, 2019 Full Review Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) 91% 8/10 EDIT “Holland continues to be a top-notch web-slinger, bringing nuance to a role that's evolved only slightly over the years.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Late Night (2019) 80% EDIT “It's a film about feminism, inclusivity, mentorship, reinvention. Such consideration is given to peripheral characters that we lament the restrictive time frame of a feature film.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Always Be My Maybe (2019) 89% 7/10 EDIT “Much of the angst and romance revolves around food: pretentious, minimalist meals; hearty, evocative food... Wong and Park get the recipe just right.” – North Shore News (Vancouver, B.C.) Jun 7, 2019 Full Review
