Crossing (2005)n/a
/
3/4

2.5/4

2/4

2/4
 
"The whole experience is enough to make one give thanks for the missionary position, and heterosexual complacency in surely not the reaction Shortbus was looking for." -- Globe and Mail

"The creators of Flyboys know no image too clichéd, no narrative convention too exhausted and no psychological motivation too pat that it can't do service." -- Globe and Mail

2/4
 
"A frustrating film full of many wonderful parts that the filmmaker ultimately betrays." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
The Secret Life of Words (2006)69%
/
3/4
 
"Despite its reliance on the white characters for drama, its biggest achievement is simply in revealing the sheer horror of the genocide." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jul 28, 2006
 
Beyond the Gates (2007)83%
/
3/4
 
"Desplechin's big, bold, iconoclastic feature Rois et Reine is a disconcerting film that can turn your head at the oddest moments." -- Globe and Mail
Posted Jun 30, 2006
 
Kings and Queen (2005)87%
/
2.5/4
 
"The film achieves a dramatic intensity that is both admirable and frustrating." -- Globe and Mail

Keane (2004)83%
/
2/4
 
"The final third of the script feels like an afterthought in a film that cannot bring any plausibility to its gritty setting nor its characters' plight because it began with an inherently sentimental plot device." -- Globe and Mail

Escape to Canada (2006)n/a
/
2.5/4
 
"A film of genre-busting twists and devilish narrative turns that never manages to turn its quirkiness into genuine charm nor its cleverness into real feeling." -- Globe and Mail
