Drive-Away Dolls (2024) Sara Clements Drive-Away Dolls is a sex-fuelled lesbian comedy caper. It’s a film so unserious, so delightfully offbeat that it doesn’t care to impress or pander to high-brow sensibilities.

Poor Things (2023) Sara Clements Poor Things is an empowering cinematic treat for flawed women who yearn to be free of shame.

Anatomy of a Fall (2023) Sara Clements Justine Triet creates an exemplary courtroom drama and an intense psychological journey that examines the anatomy of not only a crime but of human emotion, a marriage and artists. Sandra Hüller delivers a spellbinding performance

A Haunting in Venice (2023) Sara Clements The film presents a different Poirot than we’ve encountered, just like the story itself is more unfamiliar than the rest. A Haunting in Venice is an example of the treasure trove of stories that Christie has created that we have yet to explore on film.

Barbie (2023) Sara Clements Gerwig thoughtfully and beautifully explores the uniqueness of women; the feminine in its beauty and in all forms and imperfections. We don’t fit in a box – and never will.

Insidious: The Red Door (2023) Sharronda Williams Due to its weak screenplay, Insidious: The Red Door offers its most forgettable installment to the franchise.

The Boogeyman (2023) Zofia Wijaszka After the successful “Host” and the disaster of “DASHCAM”, Savage is back with a well-done horror that plays on our childhood fears while delivering a layered story with solid performances.

The Little Mermaid (2023) Carolyn Hinds The Little Mermaid is thoroughly enjoyable, owing much of this to Bailey’s irrepressible charm and crystal clear vocals, and her chemistry with all of her castmates.

Renfield (2023) Sara Clements A modern reimagining of Bram Stoker’s Dracula that looks at the signs and dangers of codependency, served on a delicious platter of wacky comedy, zesty action, and hammy Nicolas Cage performance.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline (2022) Sara Clements An explosive exploration of the climate crisis. In an incendiary display of environmental activism, a group of young people band together to fight the oil industry. Thrilling , electrifying and dire.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023) Sara Clements While Mario has never been about its story, that doesn’t translate well to film. It misses the opportunity to expand upon its lore and characters in new ways. If it doesn’t take a Super Mushroom for next time, this franchise won’t stay fun for long.

B-
Run Rabbit Run (2023) Zofia Wijaszka This psychological horror, with a chilling atmosphere similar to "Babadook" or "Hereditary", will make you question your sanity until the predictable yet impressive ending.

A-
The Starling Girl (2023) Zofia Wijaszka While you wipe away your tears as you watch the film’s lead and try to understand her broken heart, you will be blown away by every scene with Scanlen, who shines throughout.

C
Cat Person (2023) Zofia Wijaszka Although the film significantly drags in the middle, the third act will knock you out as Jones and Braun’s performances stick with you post-viewing.
Posted Mar 21, 2023  Edit critic review
Scream VI (2023) Sara Clements While the script does have many issues, the franchise’s latest is bigger and bloodier than ever. Ghostface is let loose in New York City, equalling stabbier stabs and killer violence.
Posted Mar 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Eileen (2023) Sara Clements One of the most divisive films at Sundance, Eileen makes bold, unexpected choices in how it turns the tables on the noir by rewriting its dynamics and making it fresh. It's bonkers and intoxicating, but so fun if you can roll with it.
Posted Feb 15, 2023  Edit critic review
My Animal (2023) Sara Clements My Animal is intoxicating, from its imagery to its performances. Inspired by classic monster movies and ’80s horror, it’s another intricately woven tale of otherness and the battle towards self-acceptance.
Posted Feb 15, 2023  Edit critic review
Sometimes I Think About Dying (2023) Sara Clements A film for depressed introverts. It’s for those who like being alone but are also incredibly lonely. It’s a complicated dilemma that is difficult to put into words, but the film captures it for us. A sweet and humorous story.
Posted Feb 09, 2023  Edit critic review
Infinity Pool (2023) Sara Clements Brandon Cronenberg delivers The White Lotus dialed up to eleven on the violence scale. A kaleidoscopic, suspenseful, and sick satire that blends the thriller, horror, and sci-fi genres to its will to craft a story fueled by the wealthy’s hedonism.

5/5
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) Zofia Wijaszka From the moment "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" starts, there is no place for boredom. Each scene flows perfectly as the lovable trio leads us on an adventure served with laughter, pursuits, and moving moments.
Posted Dec 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Babylon (2022) Sara Clements Babylon is a sensory overload of boisterous energy and one of the most epic movie events of the year. Chazelle successfully captures both a changing industry and city in his own raw, dirty and destructive Singin’ in the Rain.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022) Sara Clements Del Toro is a master storyteller who completely changes how we’ve ever perceived this story. By tackling very deep ideas about what makes us human, whether or not Pinocchio is a real boy is no longer relevant.

Strange World (2022) Carolyn Hinds While the main focus of the story is about a family of funny individuals who learn more about each other, I think one of the other goals of the film is to not only for audiences to see and accept each other for who we are...
Posted Dec 08, 2022  Edit critic review
The Fabelmans (2022) Sara Clements Many are tired of movies about movies, and it’s easy to understand why. They’re Oscar bait. However, it’s hard to deny their magic in capturing the shared experience of seeing our first movie, or capturing why we love movies so much.
Posted Dec 01, 2022  Edit critic review
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) Sara Clements Rian Johnson has done it again. Just like an Agatha Christie novel, Glass Onion feels fresh and even bigger than the previous Knives Out mystery. It scratches that same whodunnit itch as the first, but it also feels entirely different.

The Menu (2022) Sara Clements From amuse-bouche to the most epic dessert, Mark Mylod’s The Menu delivers a feast that increases in both heat and flavor as the film descends into chaos. It’s both a savory ode to the culinary world and a spicy takedown of the rich.

Decision to Leave (2022) Sara Clements Park Chan-wook crafts a mix of suspenseful police procedural and sweeping romance that, like a crashing wave, knocks you off balance and submerges you under the disorientating nature of the affairs of the heart.
Posted Oct 19, 2022  Edit critic review
Halloween Ends (2022) Sara Clements Adding a new character in the final entry of a franchise and making him the film's primary focus is a choice that makes sense in terms of the themes present but not when it comes to concluding the story of Laurie Strode and Michael Myers.
Posted Oct 19, 2022  Edit critic review
Unruly (2022) Sara Clements The film is at times devastating but also joyous – both bringing about strong emotions. Female strength cannot be suppressed and the film is a reminder that our rebellion can no longer be silenced.
Posted Oct 07, 2022  Edit critic review
Falcon Lake (2022) Sara Clements Falcon Lake is an assured feature debut from Charlotte Le Bon. The script perfectly captures a summer where innocence is lost as adulthood creeps ever closer – but with an eerie gothic ambiance.

Bones of Crows (2022) Sara Clements Surrounded by devastatingly beautiful imagery and transcendent cinematography is the horror of Canada’s past. Marie Clements takes on a difficult subject with both forcefulness and delicacy. It’s an inspiring ode to Indigenous strength.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe (2022) Sara Clements Aristotle and Dante feels like a warm hug. The film’s two charming leads have a chemistry that reminds the audience of the experience of first love; of finding that spark, or that bit of magic, in another person. Joyous and heartfelt, it’s a magical gem.

Holy Spider (2022) Sara Clements Ali Abbasi’s Holy Spider isn’t a film for the faint of heart. It’s admittedly not an easy watch, with many haunting moments that linger post-credits, but it could be the next obsession for true-crime buffs.

Broker (2022) Sara Clements Hirokazu Kore-eda knows how to touch us to our core, and he does once again with Broker; an empathetic and touching crowdpleaser about unconventional bonds that form under strange circumstances.

Triangle of Sadness (2022) Sara Clements It's a brilliant, wickedly funny dissection of ego, materialism, social hierarchy, and conventions. It’s a near-perfect satirical work with a fantastic ensemble cast that turns the tables on society’s upper class.
Posted Sep 29, 2022  Edit critic review
Pinocchio (2022) Sara Clements It would be hard to remake an animated classic and match the same level of adoration. While new additions are made that elevate its story, Pinocchio is just another Disney remake that never really proves why it should exist.

Orphan: First Kill (2022) Sara Clements Orphan: First Kill could have been some lame rehash, but it’s more ridiculously fun than it has any business being. It has some twists of its own that transform it into the camp, hammy thriller that the first film only gave us a sliver of.
Posted Aug 24, 2022  Edit critic review
Spin Me Round (2022) Sara Clements This Olive Garden spoof feels like a tourist video most of the time, but the script presents you with some winding, unpredictable detours that make for entertaining viewing. It’s an adult romance novel taken to the next level.

Next Exit (2022) Sara Clements Next Exit feels like a fresh entry on the list of paranormal movies, exploring one of humanity’s biggest unknowns in a different way while boasting strong lead performances.
Posted Aug 19, 2022  Edit critic review
Vesper (2022) Sara Clements Vesper is one of best films from Fantasia 2022. An exceptional look at humanity’s survival on a dying planet where capitalism still has a firm grip. It shows greed as a prison, and we’ll all suffer from it.

Mr. Malcolm's List (2022) Sharronda Williams Mr. Malcolm's List is a delightful installment into the Regency romance genre elevated by a superb cast.

Nope (2022) Sharronda Williams Nope is Peele's most ambitious and weakest body of work yet. Nope starts as an intriguing and thrilling adventure but quickly becomes a narratively dense mess.

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) Sara Clements Thor: Love and Thunder contains that same vigor Waititi brought to Thor: Ragnarok, creating a film that’s a visually stunning blast with ‘80s rock flavor. However, its biggest flaw is the overuse of his schtick in trying to recreate Ragnarok's success.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Sharronda Williams Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is MCU's darkest installment yet that delivers thrilling horror moments and memorable appearances.

The Outfit (2022) Sara Clements Moore and co-writer Johnathan McClain clearly wanted to make this as authentic an experience as possible, and while we may never see any bullets flying, the environment is built up to be an explosive one all the same.

The Adam Project (2022) Sara Clements The Adam Project brought me back in time to family movie nights where sci-fi narratives found me in wonder but also joy because I was watching it as a family. An entertaining film that delivers profound messages to adults and children alike.

The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Zofia Wijaszka The film feels like a familiar, warm embrace, but the new characters, new technology, and more elaborate fight scenes make up for it. At the same time, it becomes a great love story and nostalgic ode for the original trilogy fans.
