Dora and the Lost City of Gold (2019) 85% 1.5/4 EDIT “Kids certainly won't learn anything here, but they're not likely to mistake it for entertainment, either.” – Globe and Mail Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Stuber (2019) 43% 2.5/4 EDIT “Exactly as contrived as the title would suggest, and sometimes a little too thick on both the clash of masculinities and jokes about five stars, Stuber nevertheless only needs its two stars to be a worthwhile ride.” – Globe and Mail Jul 10, 2019 Full Review Beatriz at Dinner (2017) 75% 3/4 EDIT “Beatriz at Dinner works well beyond both lecture or lesson because of the care and attention everyone has put into the people that play them out.” – Globe and Mail Jun 16, 2017 Full Review Hello Destroyer (2016) 100% EDIT “Terse and devastating.” – National Post May 9, 2017 Full Review Before I Fall (2017) 64% 1.5/4 EDIT “Before I Fall would do better to understand its corrupted little angels before it tries to teach them something.” – Globe and Mail Mar 3, 2017 Full Review Get Out (2017) 98% 3/4 EDIT “This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.” – Globe and Mail Feb 24, 2017 Full Review Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You (2016) 86% 3/4 EDIT “There is a world of charm and wisdom in the film, much as there is in the man himself.” – National Post Jul 29, 2016 Full Review Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping (2016) 79% EDIT “You've got to be pretty savvy to come across as completely clueless.” – National Post Jun 9, 2016 Full Review The Meddler (2015) 85% 3/4 EDIT “It all adds up to something rare and gorgeous, a slice of life that appreciates the amount of wear and tear life can inflict.” – National Post May 6, 2016 Full Review Miles Ahead (2016) 74% 2.5/4 EDIT “It's all a little too pat, though, reducing Davis rather than expanding on him, simplifying him to a driving impulse.” – National Post Apr 14, 2016 Full Review No Men Beyond This Point (2015) 50% 2/4 EDIT “Combined with some stiff performances (even for fake talking heads), it's hard not to feel like No Men Beyond This Point is just one long "men are from Mars, women be shopping" joke.” – National Post Apr 14, 2016 Full Review The Boss (2016) 21% 2/4 EDIT “The thing that consistently holds this latter kind of movie back is McCarthy's inability, or unwillingness, to give anyone else anything interesting to do.” – National Post Apr 7, 2016 Full Review I Saw the Light (2015) 19% 1.5/4 EDIT “I Saw The Light meanders aimlessly from then on, not even really grasping at things to say about Williams so much as ignorant of the fact it might need to.” – National Post Apr 7, 2016 Full Review Here Come the Videofreex (2015) 100% 2/4 EDIT “Some subcultures stay buried for a reason, although it can be fun to trace their ruins.” – National Post Mar 31, 2016 Full Review The Brainwashing of My Dad (2015) 58% EDIT “Maybe I could say that if Christopher Guest rounded up his usual troupe and did a verbatim, shot-for-shot remake, it would be one of the funniest films of the year.” – National Post Mar 31, 2016 Full Review Eye in the Sky (2015) 95% 2.5/4 EDIT “The effect of this thriller... is ultimately one of a particularly tense (and well-acted) roundtable: a lot of very good ideas about what to think, but rarely does it ever succeed at hitting below the neck.” – National Post Mar 25, 2016 Full Review The Bronze (2015) 37% 1.5/4 EDIT “Credit where it's due: The Bronze does not waste any time diving into how aggressively unpleasant former Olympic bronze medalist Hope Ann Gregory (Melissa Rauch) really is.” – National Post Mar 18, 2016 Full Review Miracles From Heaven (2016) 45% 2/4 EDIT “It kind of reduces all those questions of faith to a self-help book.” – National Post Mar 17, 2016 Full Review River (2015) 83% 2.5/4 EDIT “The danger of being a wanted man is only compounded by his inability to speak the language, and his sticking out like a sore thumb, making him increasingly desperate as he tries to reach the embassy and get back home.” – National Post Mar 11, 2016 Full Review Born to Be Blue (2015) 88% 3/4 EDIT “The Chet Baker of Born to Be Blue would say he's just trying to live a little. Budreau and Hawke are smart enough to find someone who was running from life as much as trying to live it.” – National Post Mar 11, 2016 Full Review The Legend of Barney Thomson (2015) 62% 2/4 EDIT “As the man says, Barney Thomson is nasty, brutish and short, but not quite funny enough to always get away with it.” – National Post Mar 3, 2016 Full Review Numb (2015) 56% 2/4 EDIT “The quartet makes unbelievably dumb decision after unbelievably dumb decision, and get a few assists from some very conveniently tension-filled happenstance, before everything really goes to frozen-over hell.” – National Post Mar 3, 2016 Full Review Older Than Ireland (2015) 100% 3/4 EDIT “As the title would imply, this gang of people predate the actual country they live in, and even just through relating their life manage to speak to the rather profound changes that have hit in that time.” – National Post Mar 3, 2016 Full Review Gods of Egypt (2016) 15% 1/4 EDIT “[A] feckless fantasy.” – National Post Feb 26, 2016 Full Review End of Days, Inc. (2015) 1.5/4 EDIT “When things get absurd, which is never far around the corner, it is downright grating.” – National Post Feb 20, 2016 Full Review
