Trailer Park Boys: Don’t Legalize It Review
I had no idea what in the heck Trailer Park Boys was until I received an email informing me that the third (!) feature length movie was on the verge of a limited theatrical and massive VOD release on the same day that the show’s 8th (!!!) season premiered on Netflix. Though my initial impression led me to believe that this was …
TIFF: Wet Bum Review
If the term “coming of age” hasn’t been retired, it should be. People grow up, learn, and do things with their lives, but I don’t think anyone ever comes of age. They just get better or worse or linger somewhere in between. Does anybody ever get it together or do people just learn how to navigate the world in way that causes less scars along the way? People all have their…

Septic Man Review
From the production team that brought us Monster Brawl (2011) comes a claustrophobic, survival horror film that pulls no punches. A town’s water supply becomes contaminated and must be evacuated. The title of the film is self-explanatory. The film opens with a nasty sequence that will surely have audiences squirming in their seats …

Skin Flicks: The Films of Bruce LaBruce: The Raspberry Reich Review
As part of the Queer Outlaw exhibit, TIFF Bell Lightbox are giving filmgoer’s a treat with a Bruce LaBruce film retrospective. LaBruce’s films encompass a rebellious element that tests cinematic techniques and distorts its pornographic and experimental foundations. In Raspberry Reich, LaBruce infuses his unique methods with …
Siddharth Review
In an effort of Indian social realism, Mehta’s Canadian film set in India attempts to illustrate a very real cultural crisis in poverty stricken Delhi villages: child labour and abduction. While the film is sincere and quite clearly meticulously crafted, the story is flawed by one dimensional characters and a lack of agency or urgency in their …
Niagara Integrated Film Festival: I Am Not a Rock Star Review
Prodigies have the unenviable position of living their entire life under the heavy expectations of the world and their ownselves while always being at the risk of peaking too early and looking back at mere possibilities of what could have been. While career documentaries on prodigies have been done plenty of times before, what sets Bobbi …
