Cuties (2020) 88% EDIT “Cuties is a powerful statement about letting kids be kids.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jan 9, 2021 Full Review Booksmart (2019) 96% EDIT “Booksmart is feminist, foul-mouthed and funny, turning the formulaic tropes of bawdy comedies inside out and giving us a couple of teen heroines who feel real and very 2019.” – Winnipeg Free Press Dec 30, 2019 Full Review Downton Abbey (2019) 84% 2.5/5 EDIT “Downton Abbey the film feels very much like an exercise in paycheck collection.” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Triple Frontier (2019) 71% 3/5 EDIT “The Netflix-produced thriller has plenty of shoot-'em-up action, but it's the accounting that will leave you breathless.” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 16, 2019 Full Review Apollo 11 (2019) 99% 4/5 EDIT “It's almost impossible to imagine an event that would attract such a wide swath of humanity today - a group assembled not in protest, but in support of the spirit of endeavour.” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 8, 2019 Full Review Bodied (2017) 89% 3.5/5 EDIT “Bodied covers its bases with a certain self-awareness, heading viewers off before they can cry foul.” – Winnipeg Free Press Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Isn't It Romantic (2019) 70% EDIT “The casting was surprisingly excellent. I find Rebel Wilson too broad in most movies, and I found she was quite constrained and convincing in that role. I bought her.” – Winnipeg Free Press Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Robin Hood (2018) 14% 1.5/5 EDIT “The film is also pointedly but pointlessly anachronistic in a way that feels more lazy than whimsical, sometimes dressing its 1300s-era characters in costumes that recall the Hunger Games...” – Winnipeg Free Press Nov 22, 2018 Full Review Cassette: A Documentary Mixtape (2016) 60% 3/5 EDIT “Like a mixtape made for you by an enthusiastic friend who's more concerned with cramming in all his favourite songs than making a cohesive work, it flits from topic to topic without delving deeply enough into any one area.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 13, 2018 Full Review The Wife (2017) 85% 4/5 EDIT “The Wife doesn't deliver the shocking blow it ought to - Runge doesn't build suspense as effectively as he could - but when Joan erupts, it's a sight to behold.” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 28, 2018 Full Review The Happytime Murders (2018) 23% 1/5 EDIT “As those cranky old Muppet men in the balcony, Statler and Waldorf, once said, "I've seen detergents that left a better film."” – Winnipeg Free Press Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Brimstone & Glory (2017) 92% 4.5/5 EDIT “The cinematography - some by drones, some created with a Phantom High Speed Camera - is astonishing, giving us hypnotic slow-motion views of incendiary devices exploding and glorious nighttime scenes of dancers stamping.” – Winnipeg Free Press Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Little Italy (2018) 13% 0.5/5 EDIT “Canadian rom-com Little Italy tells you exactly what kind of film it's going to be in the first two minutes: a leaning tower of clichés built on a foundation of stereotypes.” – Winnipeg Free Press Aug 24, 2018 Full Review Skyscraper (2018) 48% 1.5/5 EDIT “What's impossible is giving a damn. The actor's famous charisma is squandered in a role that's unforgivably bland, and not a single other person is given a back story or personality. The film resorts to almost comical shorthand for character development.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jul 20, 2018 Full Review Ask the Sexpert (2017) 4/5 EDIT “The film shows the importance of Watsa's work in a country where campaigns have ended sex-ed programs in many states.” – Winnipeg Free Press May 10, 2018 Full Review Every Day (2018) 64% 2.5/5 EDIT “As romance, as social commentary, as a call to "carpe diem," even as Freaky Friday-style fun - Every Day feels like a wasted opportunity on every front.” – Winnipeg Free Press Feb 23, 2018 Full Review Una (2016) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Despite can't-look-away performances from its leads and scenes that will linger long after the lights go up, the film is ultimately unsuccessful in making a real connection.” – Winnipeg Free Press Oct 20, 2017 Full Review Hunting Pignut (2016) 60% 2/5 EDIT “Hunting Pignut wants to embrace rebellion and the fringe, but it ends up playing by the rules.” – Winnipeg Free Press Sep 15, 2017 Full Review Ingrid Goes West (2017) 84% 3.5/5 EDIT “Several reviews have referred to Ingrid Goes West as a black comedy, but it feels more like a horror movie, albeit one threaded with satire.” – Winnipeg Free Press Aug 25, 2017 Full Review The Big Sick (2017) 98% 4/5 EDIT “You'll leave the theatre with a smile on your face. And that's a pretty nice feeling.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jul 7, 2017 Full Review Leap! (2016) 52% 3/5 EDIT “With its over-familiar story and missed opportunities -- it settles for cute when it could be charming -- Ballerina is too clunky and unco-ordinated to be a classic, but young dance fans may still be inspired.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jun 13, 2017 Full Review Kedi (2016) 98% 4/5 EDIT “The beautifully filmed doc is a cat lover's dream, but it also acts as a love letter to Istanbul, its fish markets and cafés, its haphazard roads and shabby elegance, the blue expanse of the Bosphorus under gull-filled skies.” – Winnipeg Free Press Jun 2, 2017 Full Review David Lynch: The Art Life (2016) 90% 4/5 EDIT “In the end... what The Art Life delivers is a fascinating portrait of a man who seems to approach his art as equal parts craftsman and esthete, who taps into his subconscious but also loves getting his hands dirty.” – Winnipeg Free Press May 19, 2017 Full Review The Salesman (2016) 96% 4.5/5 EDIT “This is not John Wick-style hail-of-bullets revenge, of course. It's small and sad and wrong-headed and destined to fail, but no less devastating.” – Winnipeg Free Press Feb 17, 2017 Full Review Fifty Shades Darker (2017) 11% 1.5/5 EDIT “Their relationship, however, still suffers from all kinds of ick that prevents the film from being enjoyed as escapist entertainment.” – Winnipeg Free Press Feb 10, 2017 Full Review
