33 Photos From the Ghetto (2026) Anne Brodie Grzywaczewski’s courage in recording what he saw in 33 photographs, all proof and evidence for future generations to judge and mourn. One survivor couldn’t look at them; she’d tried all her life to forget those days.

Rosemead (2025) Anne Brodie If you feel you’ve had too many happy moments during the holidays and need to balance your fate with something grim, catch Rosemead. It’s hard to take but advocates for mental health, based on a true story.

The Scottish Play (2019) Anne Brodie A New England theatre troupe is about to stage Macbeth. But they will rewrite it. The masterpiece. And so, their troubles begin. Fun oddity, well written and produced; you have to admire it for taking such a literary risk

The New Yorker at 100 (2025) Anne Brodie Marshall Curry’s highly entertaining documentary celebrates intelligence and humour … wildly entertaining, whimsical and important with civility, thoughtful dialogue and laughter, and that’s a good thing.

Goodbye June (2025) Anne Brodie Quietly devastating, so you are warned. This portrait of a family in a fraught time is worrisome. How would we react? Not recommended for anyone who has suffered a recent loss.

Breakdown: 1975 (2025) Anne Brodie If you were conscious in 1975 and lived in North America, you will remember it as a turbulent year, and a banner year for bold, impressive, timely films. There’s a lot to learn here.

The Tale of Silyan (2025) Anne Brodie Is the documentary a projection of the filmmakers or is what they’ve captured miraculous? Bold, gorgeous – sweeping weather patterns play a big role – and full of hope and love.

Meadowlarks (2025) Anne Brodie a chamber piece on what it meant and means to have been kidnapped and sent away and changed. Gorgeous, resonant performances strengthen the realities of grieving, growth, acceptance and starting anew

Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse (2024) Anne Brodie Spiegelman took cartooning in an all-new dimension, recreating his parents’ memories in the camps …the straight, engrossing goods on that vile chapter in German history . The tone is unsparing and real

3/4
Frankenstein (2025) Anne Brodie Frankenstein gets the full CGI over the top treatment typical of the filmmaker. It could have benefitted from a slightly less in-yer-face with naturalism, more suggestion than showmanship.

4/4
Sallywood (2024) Anne Brodie How heartbreakingly ironic that just days before the release of Sallywood, Sally Kirkland passed away. Its a remarkably affecting film, mostly true, maybe, imbued with her personality. Rest in peace, Sally Kirkland.

Beyond the Gaze: Jule Campbell's Swimsuit Issue (2024) Anne Brodie Publishing feminist pioneer Jule Campbell put together the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition for 32 years. It typically earned $15 M – 73 today - but this stalwart was always lowest paid Sports Illustrated editor. Not to be missed.

Wisdom of Happiness (2024) Anne Brodie He says all respond to “warmheartedness”and love. The time is right given the stressors of the world which he acknowledges but does not name. Highly recommended.

4/4
Christy (2025) Anne Brodie Sweeney is exceptional, heavy and muscular for the part, boxes like a champ and takes multiple hits. A bracing, terrifying cautionary tale, a stark true story of a major celebrity living a lie and in fear that may resonate with some women.

4/4
John Candy: I Like Me (2025) Anne Brodie John Candy was a giant of his generation. Physically big, yes, but in spirit, personality and comedy gifts, a behemoth. An outstanding, deeply moving documentary on a one-of-a-kind individual.

Dead of Winter (2025) Anne Brodie Thompson leaves her signature humourous, romantic, period films for something brutally intense, a thriller. A shocking turn in Thompon’s repertoire, a change of pace and one helluva frosty, ugly ride.

4/4
Eleanor the Great (2025) Anne Brodie a celebration of life, a stinging reminder of the pain of the deaths of people we love. Frailty, whims, corrections, surviving and connection are beautifully expressed in his lovely human story.

Swiped (2025) Anne Brodie A deflating portrait of a women in tech, an industry that needs to improve, of sexism and of being strong when you feel your weakest. She carries on, a warrior.

Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror (2025) Anne Brodie The musical’s about being one’s true self - sexuality, dressing ,believing and living your truth – who you really are – and celebrating with like minded individuals. Linus O’Brien’s wonderful doc Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror reminds us.

Megadoc (2025) Anne Brodie extremely “inside” – endless hours waiting for things to happen,waiting for all the departments to do what they need to do. Dull, long, unremarkable – not the doc, life on the set.

Triumph of the Heart (2025) Anne Brodie The film isn’t aiming for an horrific effect, there’s no need. The miracle is that the prisoners’ spirit, power and the hope rise up. Really uplifting stuff especially for these bruising times.

The Antique (2024) Anne Brodie moves at its own pace, which may be slow for some, but its depiction of Russian life in 2006 is reason to watch. In a film that is heavier on images than words, Valdimir Vadimich is astounding; his quiet performance is sheer beauty.

Checkpoint Zoo (2024) Anne Brodie The unprovoked Russian war on Ukraine’s heartbreaking toll, cruel and unforgivable, has upended its people and zoo animals ..As the bombardment begins, zoo employees flee. …without a doubt on of the most moving docs in a while.

Loathe Thy Neighbor (2025) Anne Brodie Ok so we have all had bad neighbours. That uncomfortable truth drives Lauren Holly’s darkly funny, sarcastic, absurd comedy. … amusingly “out there” and worth a look

Kerouac's Road: The Beat of a Nation (2025) Anne Brodie Kerouac’s legacy roars back to life in this well-made collage of reminiscences as to how his road novel changed the US. The opposite of the way things are now as Americans chase careers, jobs, wealth, status

The Naked Gun (2025) Anne Brodie You can’t make noise laughing or you’ll miss the next thing, and the next. You’ll find yourself grinning at the screen, frozen, waiting, and leaving satisfied.

Goddess of Slide: The Forgotten Story of Ellen McIlwaine (2024) Anne Brodie Her complicated guitar patterns and vocals were never rehearsed, and seemed somehow out of body, screeches, snarls, sweet melodies, whatever came out of her and her instrument.

Four Letters of Love (2024) Anne Brodie The film's tuneful and very pretty but never really gels, its messy and could use a hard edit.

Oh, Hi! (2025) Anne Brodie Can’t remember the last time a film made me feel queasy and then Oh, Hi! an unflinching look at love and cruelty ... you may never know the truth about people until its too late. Whew.

Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight (2024) Anne Brodie A sad reminder of the evils of colonialism and how racists are created; its plain and out in the open and 7-year-old Bobo may become one of them.

Operation: Aunties (2025) Anne Brodie Lots of Dark Web, assumed identities and action, but the heart of the series is the friendship between the three, and the ways they are able to put strategies in place to keep women safe.

Portraits of Dangerous Women (2024) Anne Brodie Odds of the fateful accident seem low but we buy it because the story's carefully constructed and embraces life’s ironies, chances and nuances.

We Are Guardians (2023) Anne Brodie Its unbearable watching majestic trees fall, knocking down others and erasing wildlife habitats and species. All hail the women who turned the tables on Big Money.

40 Acres (2024) Anne Brodie R.T. Thorne’s empathy comes through. Spellbinding, balletic, its a fully realised, striking and challenging creation and one of the best films around.

Restless (2024) Anne Brodie ...extremely interesting and astute; if you’ve had a bad neighbour, you can relate. If you’ve been a bad neighbour, shame on you.

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life (2024) Anne Brodie An improbable, head spinning parade of events that aren’t quite set due to a lack of cohesion and it’s not funny despite being a romcom. Still, it’s nice to think Jane Austen rides again.

4/4
Bad Shabbos (2024) Anne Brodie ...a sly brew of stealth, bold decisions so bizarre and funny they would be unbelievable except for Cliff the doorman whose sheer brilliance mimics a runaway train. It opens corny and silly, quickly becomes edgy and the third act – wow!

Being Maria (2024) Anne Brodie For all the sturm und drang, betrayal and abuse, the film seems bloodless and slow, but left a strong impression of diastase for the perps and empathy for those victimised in their naivete.

The Last Role of Charles LeBlanc (2025) Anne Brodie Role of Charles LeBlanc Drugs, dreams, danger, dementia …what a package! It’s exciting, surreal, gritty and human and in twenty minutes accomplishes more than many films manage in two hours.

Sarah Silverman: Postmortem (2025) Anne Brodie Sarah Silverman’s blue performances ... fused with white hot anger and pain at losing her father and stepmother nine days apart ...It’s a gritty hour and a bit so the faint of heart need not tune in.

Secret Mall Apartment (2024) Anne Brodie What began as a kind of self congratulatory, anti-establishment rebel yell, the collective became a family that gave back to the community. But how long could it last?

Scrap (2022) Anne Brodie Given the limited information we’re given, it’s a bit of a puzzle, God forbid Beth straight talks. Kerr’s really pulled off something that could have been problematic. Well worth a look.
