Lie Exposed (2020) Victor Stiff At times, Lie Exposed comes across like a more coherent version of the Terrence Malick formula.Expect time-jumping, voice-over, and plenty of navel-gazing.

Frankie (2019) Victor Stiff With a cast like Frankie's and a filmmaker as attentive as Sachs, it would take a lot to derail this sophisticated character study.

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) Victor Stiff Although I enjoyed Zombieland ... I'm ready to jump ship. I have little patience for the series' mean characters, exhausted themes, and irreverent humour.

Harpoon (2019) Victor Stiff This flaccid picture lacks the muscle needed to succeed as a horror or a comedy.

Where's My Roy Cohn? (2019) Victor Stiff Tyrnauer's well-researched film does an excellent job explaining how this man behaved like a soulless ghoul. But the way the filmmaker goes about doing so feels rote.

The Addams Family (2019) Courtney Small There is enough humour in this cute comedy to have even the most jaded individual snapping their fingers in harmony with The Addams Family.

Sometimes Always Never (2018) Courtney Small Sometimes Always Never may take its title from the rules a man must follow when buttoning up a suit jacket, but the rules of grief are not so clear.

Cold Case Hammarskjöld (2019) Victor Stiff At over two hours, the film takes its time arriving at its bombshell conclusion. But by the time it gets there, Brügger's credibility has run its course.

3.5/5
Mike Wallace Is Here (2019) Victor Stiff Wallace's role was to speak truth to power, and it came at the expense of being liked. And by the end of Mike Wallace Is Here, you get that he wouldn't have it any other way.

4/5
Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) Courtney Small Taking cues from everything from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade to National Treasure, Dora and the Lost City of Gold is an immensely satisfying adventure.

3.5/5
Juliet, Naked (2018) Victor Stiff It's hard not to root for Byrne, Hawke, and O'Dowd, who are all delightful, in a "rom-com" that's more subversive than it appears.

The Wife (2017) Victor Stiff What stands out in The Wife is how easily society downplays womens' talents, stifles their creative voices, and nudges them into subservient roles.

Sharkwater Extinction (2018) Victor Stiff The film has a globe-trotting secret agent vibe; James Bond reimagined as mellow Canadian. When it comes to documentary footage, real life rarely looks so thrilling.

The Brink (2019) Victor Stiff Bannon believes no press is bad press, and the movie gives him one more platform to preach to his choir or convert those on the fence.

Dumbo (2019) Victor Stiff Dumbo isn't a perfect movie, but its pros outweigh its cons. Burton updates the material with powerful eco-conscious themes and a scientifically-minded heroine.
