I.T. Review

Many have done worse with similar setups, which isn't exactly a glowing recommendation - but hey, if you love Pierce Brosnan enough, you should be fine with I.T.

Queen Of Katwe Review

Queen Of Katwe is pretty typical Disney magic, but dynamic performances add a little more oomph to Phiona Mutesi's amazing true story.

Level Up Review

Level Up is one of those great ideas that makes a pretty OK movie at best, even if it isn't "Game Over" status.

Storks Review

Storks is uncomfortably unfunny and tonally confused, primed to leave children with so many questions for parents to awkwardly stumble over during any post-screening car rides home.

The Handmaiden Review [TIFF 2016]

The Handmaiden is a sexy, seductive "thriller" that attempts to play the multiple-perceptions game, but misses on being a masterclass because of its daunting length.

The Dressmaker Review

Despite Winslet's stunning cowgirl fashionista, The Dressmaker is a whole lot of weirdness packed into a story that stumbles around like an emotionally-inept drunk.

I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House Review [TIFF 2016]

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives In The House is a slow-burn with a wonky structure, working backwards in a way that unfortunately mars any possible tension.

Without Name Review [TIFF 2016]

Without Name is almost without character as well, but Lorcan Finnegan wrangles enough creepy woodland shots to keep this softer genre flick drenched in intrigue.
