As fiery comic Aida Rodriguez puts it, who’s worrying about the many talented female comics whose entire careers, thanks to C.K., were cancelled?” – POV Magazine Sep 25, 2023 Full Review Sholem Aleichem: Laughing in the Darkness (2011) 100% 4/5 EDIT “An important doc for anyone who cares about literature.” – NOW Toronto Sep 23, 2020 Full Review Hannah Gadsby: Douglas (2020) 93% 3/5 EDIT “Douglas is a maddeningly inconsistent stand-up special...” – NOW Toronto May 27, 2020 Full Review Be Like Others (2008) 100% 3/5 EDIT “A sad slice of gender fascism.” – NOW Toronto May 18, 2020 Full Review Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) 80% 3/5 EDIT “Just try throwing shade at Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Its relentlessly sunny spirit will burn right through it.” – NOW Toronto Mar 30, 2019 Full Review The Misandrists (2017) 75% 1/5 EDIT “The Misandrists is supposed to be a send-up of radical feminism, but it only occasionally shows any understanding of feminist thinking, and the film isn't funny for a second.” – NOW Toronto Jan 29, 2019 Full Review Nothing Like a Dame (2018) 98% 4/5 EDIT “Too much time is given to the legends complaining about the rigors of filming this documentary, but it's ultimately big fun having tea with these Dames.” – NOW Toronto Nov 28, 2018 Full Review Selma (2014) 99% 4/5 EDIT “Listen to Common's track over the final credits. This movie is continuing a conversation that America cannot ignore.” – NOW Toronto Oct 4, 2018 Full Review 93Queen (2018) 94% 4/5 EDIT “What at first looks like a straightforward story about plucky Hasidic women battling to create an all-female emergency force in Brooklyn turns into something much more complex.” – NOW Toronto Oct 4, 2018 Full Review Jane Fonda in Five Acts (2018) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The filmmaking in this doc may be conventional, but there's nothing conventional about its subject.” – NOW Toronto Sep 20, 2018 Full Review Gloria Bell (2018) 90% 3/5 EDIT “The glorious Julianne Moore is the best reason to see this American adaptation of Sebastián Lelio's Chilean film.” – NOW Toronto Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Colette (2018) 87% 3/5 EDIT “This biopic of France's best-selling female author is packed with flaws, but star Keira Knightley carries it off with panache.” – NOW Toronto Sep 11, 2018 Full Review When Arabs Danced (Au temps où les Arabes dansaient) (2018) 4/5 EDIT “This is a celebration of artistic freedom and beauty - and a provocation.” – NOW Toronto Sep 8, 2018 Full Review Loro (2018) 79% 2/5 EDIT “I thought the party sequences in The Wolf Of Wall Street were just fine, thank you, but Loro's give new meaning to the word gratuitous.” – NOW Toronto Sep 8, 2018 Full Review Transit (2018) 94% 4/5 EDIT “Petzold's moody meditation on exile and rootlessness may lack the narrative drive of his brilliant last film, Phoenix, but it's unsettling and powerful nevertheless.” – NOW Toronto Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Sibel (2018) 75% 4/5 EDIT “The film illuminates patriarchy's persistence - and the sexual repression that goes with it - in rural Turkey but thankfully never uses a sledgehammer.” – NOW Toronto Sep 6, 2018 Full Review
