Whatever investigation it's attempting, the movie is leaden in its pacing - the first 15 minutes feel like an hour - and its constricted shooting style, practically all hand-held almost close-ups, is transparent in its contrivance of realism. February 16, 2017 | Full Review…

In his tale of repressed game-addicted dad Erwin (Erwin Van Cotthem), Radwanski looks not for a simple tabloid scapegoat, but digs deeper into what drives a middle-aged, middle-class man to near-paralysing regression. August 25, 2018 | Full Review…

In just two features and several shorts, co-conceived with producing partner Dan Montgomery, Radwanski has proven himself a gentler, Southern Ontarian answer to Dardennes-style social realism. November 13, 2017 | Full Review…

Radwanski's depiction of Erwin's ordinariness is so concentrated and intense to the point that we're led to see nothing but ourselves in his predicament. August 11, 2016 | Rating: Recommended | Full Review…
