Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie (2025) 88% EDIT “The big-screen spinoff is, surprisingly, quite charming, borrowing themes from the Toy Story franchise to explore the fear of growing up and that you may lose your ability to play and imagine along the way.” – Globe and Mail Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Twice Colonized (2023) 100% EDIT “Twice Colonized’s team overcame its own challenges created by colonialism to make this the first pan-Arctic co-production between Inuit across borders. It’s reflective, mournful, inspiring.” – Globe and Mail Jan 26, 2026 Full Review Hedda (2025) 89% EDIT “The setting of a Downton Abbey-style estate in the 1950s seem to be mainly for aesthetics, rather than sense, but never mind: This Hedda zings and smoulders in a way few stage productions of the play do.” – Globe and Mail Oct 30, 2025 Full Review Who Killed the Montreal Expos? (2025) 100% EDIT “It’s the most harrowing true-crime documentary of the year -- if you grew up in Quebec and are a fan of baseball.” – Globe and Mail Oct 21, 2025 Full Review Vice Is Broke (2024) 60% EDIT “For those endlessly fascinated by the fall of the Vice magazine turned media empire (that’s me), here’s another deep dive.” – Globe and Mail Aug 29, 2025 Full Review Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical (2025) 80% EDIT “The music is poorly integrated into a script that feels only sketched in by Charles M. Schulz descendants Craig Schulz and Bryan Schulz with Cornelius Uliano.” – Globe and Mail Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Marc Maron: Panicked (2025) 100% EDIT “Maron’s hilarious account of trying to flee his home in Los Angeles with three cats is a masterful monologue.” – Globe and Mail Aug 15, 2025 Full Review My Mom Jayne (2025) 100% EDIT “The doc ends up a rich portrait of a complex human, full of interviews with intimates who would have been impossible to land if Hargitay hadn’t been involved.” – Globe and Mail Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Frozen: The Hit Broadway Musical (2025) 83% EDIT “The former theatre critic in me had to agree with the consensus that Frozen on stage mainly pads out the story of princesses Anna and Elsa, rather than expands on it. But it was fun to watch a twist on a familiar favourite.” – Globe and Mail Jun 26, 2025 Full Review Mountainhead (2025) 74% EDIT “Full of poetically garbled tech jargon and inventively profane put-downs, Armstrong’s screwball dialogue in this film is as enjoyable – and unquotable in this newspaper – as Succession’s at its most absurd.” – Globe and Mail May 30, 2025 Full Review Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night Of Your Life (2025) EDIT “It’s not the sharpest-edged of stand-up -- but those who like his Kent character will enjoy spending time with the personality behind it. ” – Globe and Mail Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Sea Lions of the Galapagos (2025) EDIT “Highlights include an amazing action sequence involving sharks, sea lions, pelicans and fish all in a high-speed, food-chain chase. ” – Globe and Mail Apr 24, 2025 Full Review Wynonna Earp: Vengeance (2024) EDIT “The tongue-in-cheek script by creator Emily Andras is a fine example of a genre that doesn’t take itself too seriously and is more enjoyable for it.” – Globe and Mail Mar 27, 2025 Full Review The Drawer Boy (2017) 88% EDIT “While it never entirely shakes off its staginess - particularly in a climax in the kitchen - The Drawer Boy has performances to savour, especially a heartbreaking one by Hughes.” – Globe and Mail Nov 25, 2018 Full Review 3.5/4 EDIT “I'd almost given up on Hamlet, but Benedict Cumberbatch has won me back over to the play and, in particular, to the character.” – Globe and Mail Nov 6, 2015 Full Review Incendies (2010) 91% 3/4 EDIT “A sensible switch from stage to screen, but lovers of the original may be disappointed” – Globe and Mail Sep 14, 2010 Full Review Torque (2004) 22% EDIT “A new classic of the genre.” – National Post Jan 16, 2004 Full Review Scary Movie 3 (2003) 36% 2/4 EDIT “There are a few genius gags in Scary Movie 3, but the laugh-to-joke ratio is disappointingly low.” – National Post Oct 24, 2003 Full Review Moving Malcolm (2003) 2.5/4 EDIT “Billed as 'a comedy that will move you,' the film is touching, tender and, yes, moving. But as a comedy, it never fully unpacks.” – National Post Oct 22, 2003 Full Review House of the Dead (2003) 3% 1/4 EDIT “How are you supposed to be even remotely scared if you're constantly being reminded that what you're watching is a movie written and directed by some guys who really like movies?” – National Post Oct 12, 2003 Full Review Kart Racer (2003) 40% 1/4 EDIT “It may just be a kid's movie, but in some ways that makes Kart Racer's incredible lack of originality even more of a crime.” – National Post Sep 26, 2003 Full Review Mambo Italiano (2003) 30% 2.5/4 EDIT “The film adaptation is by no means a masterpiece, but it has greatly improved on the play, an abysmal piece full of shrill and irritating characters.” – National Post Sep 20, 2003 Full Review
