Film-Forward

Art & Krimes by Krimes

An inspiring documentary on the redeeming and life-affirming qualities inherent in creating art, but infuriating too.

My Imaginary Country

An essential documentary for anyone interested in learning about an ongoing revolution that actually succeeded.

The Justice for Bunny King

If there is one reason to see this, it is Essie Davis.

On the Come Up

The performances certainly carry On the Come Up’s weight, but its pacing less so.

Charcoal | TIFF 2022

This well-calibrated droll and dark satire has a life force that courses in serpentine ways that recall Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite.

The Wonder | TIFF 2022

The team behind this book adaptation spins a sinuous narrative of many colors. It’s easily one of the classiest films that Netflix has produced. 

The Banshees of Inisherin | TIFF 2022

A return to form for Martin McDonagh, with this dark, macabre comedy. Though the story is gritty, grim, and grotesque, the location lends it an almost epic-like grandeur.

The American Dream and Other Fairy Tales

An inside look at one of America’s most famous and valuable businesses, the Walt Disney Company.

Catherine Called Birdy

The cozy medieval world (minus the smelly horse droppings and chicken dung) of Karen Cushman’s middle-grade novel has been re-created in this stylized–and deliberately anachronistic–adaptation.
