Dead Man's Wire (2025) 91% EDIT “The intensity of the situation and Tony’s capacity to pull the trigger are unconvincing; Skarsgard’s looks are the only thing that can kill.” – Globe and Mail Jan 14, 2026 Full Review The Chronology of Water (2025) 90% EDIT “In a sea of actors-turned-directors who contrive drab, visually unremarkable projects, Stewart’s tangly and deeply unsettling character study is almost beyond comprehension.” – Globe and Mail Jan 13, 2026 Full Review Universal Language (2024) 95% EDIT “A brilliantly bizarre comedy that imagines a Canada where the two official languages are Farsi and French. ” – Sight & Sound Dec 18, 2025 Full Review Rumours (2024) 76% EDIT “The directors’ facetiousness might be mistaken for insincerity but, as in all of Maddin’s films, truth, however inscrutable, is tucked into the folds of melodramatic action. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Friendship (2024) 88% EDIT “Friendship is impressive precisely for its fluid approach to genre, contorting from comedy into drama, fantasy, tragedy, thriller – even if the bit exhausts itself at times.” – Sight & Sound Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Kiss of the Spider Woman (2025) 77% EDIT “n fantasizing fantasy, Condon, who once gave us far campier images, defaults to less imprinting sights and stifled tropes in this mostly unmemorable spectacle.” – Globe and Mail Oct 18, 2025 Full Review Sweet Angel Baby (2024) EDIT “These complications, or contradictions, are genuinely intriguing, but are glossed over in favour of a safer, cut and dried narrative.” – Globe and Mail Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Materialists (2025) 77% EDIT “Materialists is, at best, genre confused and, at worst, negligent to its own ideological position -- a stiff, reluctant rom-com that cannot square the footloose idealism of its predecessors with the terrifying realities of today’s dating pool.” – Globe and Mail Jun 10, 2025 Full Review Two Women (2025) 92% EDIT “While the performances are memorable (Gonthier-Hyndman especially), there is an indifference in the writing, particularly around Florence’s mental health, that feels off-putting while impersonating compassionate comedy. ” – Globe and Mail May 30, 2025 Full Review Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) 82% EDIT “Lamenting the loss of the arthouse rom-com often feels like pleading for dessert. Thankfully, Piani’s debut is sweet enough to nurse the craving.” – Globe and Mail May 22, 2025 Full Review Bonjour Tristesse (2024) 68% EDIT “Rest assured, Chew-Bose’s debut film is neither late nor unexciting; it is appropriately bitten off from the repressive climate of pre-Neuwirth Law France, and able to engage its existential manner with care and ingenuit” – Globe and Mail May 1, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% EDIT “The sentiment of being thrown to the margins of an industry that seemed predestined to carry you is certainly an interesting point of departure, but the resulting film often feels stagnant.” – Globe and Mail Jan 13, 2025 Full Review Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2024) 100% EDIT “A cozy return to form that plaits together its own laboured conception and our mechanized conditions in order to enliven its signature duo among the youth of today.” – Globe and Mail Dec 28, 2024 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% EDIT “In 2005, Mangold directed Walk the Line, a biographical drama about Johnny Cash, who also features in his latest effort. With A Complete Unknown, Mangold rinses and repeats his own musical biopic truisms.” – Globe and Mail Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Small Things Like These (2024) 93% EDIT “In lieu of sensationalizing the persecution of these young women, Small Things Like These compellingly casts its gaze onto the complicity of the community and the social architectures which uphold abuse.” – Globe and Mail Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Bird (2024) 86% EDIT “Adams delivers a great performance that is at times blunted by Rogowski’s typically peculiar and captivating comportment and Keoghan’s haywire antics.” – Globe and Mail Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Close Your Eyes (2023) 93% EDIT “Though this intricate scenario neatly develops upon its director’s catalogue, Close Your Eyes still feels singular and prodigious -- a film that works just as well for those unfamiliar with Erice, moving with the viewer to unveil its secrets.” – Globe and Mail Aug 22, 2024 Full Review National Anthem (2023) 91% EDIT “A tender and uncomplicated tale about a young man feeling through his sexuality after a troupe of queer ranchers take him under their wing.” – Globe and Mail Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Last Summer (2023) 87% EDIT “One can lodge the complaint that Last Summer is redundant, though Breillat’s aims differ significantly from el-Toukhy’s. The trouble lies instead with the inconsistency and loathsomeness of these aims.” – Globe and Mail Jul 1, 2024 Full Review Monkey Man (2024) 89% EDIT “Patel is not reinventing the wheel here, nor is he establishing a coherent visual language to build upon in future films, but Monkey Man is cleverly castigating and proud of its lineage – a digestible bit of mythmaking with knife work to boot.” – Globe and Mail Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Seagrass (2023) 96% EDIT “By deftly tugging at divorce narrative conventions and the slow erosion of a household, the film surveys the ways we curl inward in crisis.” – Globe and Mail Feb 19, 2024 Full Review Sometimes I Think About Dying (2023) 82% EDIT “The film’s intended unpleasantness can move from deadpan – at times reminiscent of Swedish director Roy Andersson’s austere and anemic images – to laborious or dispossessed of meaning.” – Globe and Mail Feb 7, 2024 Full Review Inside the Yellow Cocoon Shell (2023) 94% EDIT “There’s a sophistication and assuredness which thins out in the second and third acts; as Thiện leans closer to his faith, he seems to pull away from, rather than expose himself to, the audience.” – Screen Slate Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Crooklyn (1994) 79% EDIT “An elegiac Bed-Stuy fairy tale.” – Screen Slate Mar 5, 2023 Full Review Alcarràs (2022) 93% EDIT “The film’s final beat is devastating, or potentially reassuring, as per the director’s ethos...” – Cinema Scope Feb 16, 2023 Full Review
