Kurt Halfyard ScreenAnarchy 3d
A novel, more intimately Canadian character-driven narrative by way of a multi-generational family-on-hold tragicomedy. ... Achieves a heartbreaking melancholy via the unrestrained joy and laughter, against the stark failures of its central character. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 5d
3.5/5
The performances here are spot on, but it’s the rich detail that really brings it to life. Go to Full Review Louisa Moore Screen Zealots 5d
A deeply human, refreshingly honest portrait of addiction that earns its hope without ever compromising its authenticity. Go to Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex 6d
7/10
Bolstered by an excellent, enigmatic performance from Emmanuel Bilodeau, the addiction "comedy" lands in a place that is not emotionally manipulative but instead earnest about this journey. Go to Full Review Emilie Black Cinema Crazed 6d
Tight Lettuce (or Tissé Serré in French) is a touching, carefully crafted, view into the difficulties of addiction, life in the boonies of a province most never think as having more than cities, and family connections in the middle of it all. Go to Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? Jul 19
8.5/10
