Stephen King's It (1990) 68% EDIT “The only interesting aspect of IT is the crude allegory enacted in the story.” – Globe and Mail Oct 13, 2025 Full Review The Figo Affair: The Transfer that Changed Football (2022) EDIT “It’s vastly entertaining, taking you into the very murky world of big-money, dubious businessmen and even more dubious agents who represent soccer stars. ” – Globe and Mail Nov 4, 2022 Full Review Nothing Compares (2022) 99% EDIT “Her story is extraordinary, from a bleak childhood to early stardom to enormous controversy. Raw and poignant, it’s about O’Connor’s amazing voice and the trouble it caused.” – Globe and Mail Sep 30, 2022 Full Review Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth (2020) 80% EDIT “A solid documentary about Craig Carton... A study of male ego and hidden demons.” – Globe and Mail Aug 5, 2022 Full Review 700 Sundays (2014) EDIT “It’s nostalgic and very personal and aimed at an audience equipped to remember the period Crystal is nostalgic about, but his personal investment in it all transcends nostalgia.” – Globe and Mail Jul 22, 2022 Full Review Cristela Alonzo: Middle Classy (2022) EDIT “It’s a relaxed comedy set, unlikely to alienate anyone but certain to make a lot of people smile.” – Globe and Mail Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Bill Burr: Live at Red Rocks (2022) 67% EDIT “His temper has cooled and he’s aiming to be reasonable and open-minded, while aware that some of his audience don’t want to go there with him. He’s transcended something that others can’t.” – Globe and Mail Jul 21, 2022 Full Review Scarborough (2021) 100% EDIT “It’s a love letter but bittersweet, directed by Shasha Nakhai and Rich Williamson. It sure pulses with life.” – Globe and Mail Jul 5, 2022 Full Review Fanatyk (2017) EDIT “This 33-minute gem is a small masterpiece of dark comedy.” – Globe and Mail May 23, 2022 Full Review Bedlam (2019) 100% EDIT “The film has remarkable access and, throughout, Rosenberg weaves in the story of what happened to his sister, a woman who had schizophrenia. Not easy viewing, but very powerful.” – Globe and Mail May 13, 2022 Full Review Navalny (2022) 97% EDIT “It is more chilling and absorbing than any spy fiction, because it’s all real, and ominous, too.” – Globe and Mail Apr 22, 2022 Full Review White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch (2022) 66% EDIT “As anyone who studies fashion knows, there is so much to extrapolate from the arena. And there is a vast amount to learn here. ” – Globe and Mail Apr 21, 2022 Full Review Writing with Fire (2021) 100% EDIT “Everyone involved is aware of the hostility they face, and their energy and fortitude is astonishing.” – Globe and Mail Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Adrienne (2021) 100% EDIT “The doc is made by her husband, Andy Ostroy, and it is a glowing tribute, an act of grieving. ” – Globe and Mail Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Catherine Cohen: The Twist...? She's Gorgeous. (2022) EDIT “You need an appreciation for theatricality to really savour the material and the tone, which tends toward the filthy. For others, it might be unclear if Cohen is mocking herself, or engaging in performance as therapy. A star on the rise, mind you. ” – Globe and Mail Mar 16, 2022 Full Review Lucy and Desi (2022) 94% EDIT “It is the definition of hagiography, being a loving tribute, mainly to Ball, but there is great energy in the copious amount of private footage of the couple.” – Globe and Mail Mar 4, 2022 Full Review The Tinder Swindler (2022) 97% EDIT “It is tighter and more focused than many true crime documentaries on Netflix, a crisply done account of how a guy manipulated and exploited three women on Tinder. ” – Globe and Mail Feb 17, 2022 Full Review Falling for Figaro (2020) 73% EDIT “An adorable comedy, the romance is in part about being in love with opera.” – Globe and Mail Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Aziz Ansari: Nightclub Comedian (2022) 80% EDIT “The special, just 30 minutes long, is bracing in its skepticism and hard-shelled, morbidly funny about the mess we're all in now.” – Globe and Mail Jan 27, 2022 Full Review Fanny: The Right to Rock (2021) 100% EDIT “A terrific and eye-opening documentary and an amendment to misconceptions.” – Globe and Mail Jan 18, 2022 Full Review Portrayal (2020) EDIT “It's a fabulous story about coming to terms with what our forefathers did and why they did it.” – Globe and Mail Jan 7, 2022 Full Review The Gig is Up (2021) 100% EDIT “A disturbing look at the gig economy on four continents. It's a punchy and anger-inciting doc by Shannon Walsh” – Globe and Mail Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Pharma Bro (2021) 60% EDIT “There isn't enough in the film about the issue of drug pricing - but it says enough to underline the difference between us here in Canada, and our neighbours to the south.” – Globe and Mail Nov 29, 2021 Full Review Meet Beau Dick: Maker of Monsters (2017) EDIT “His work as a master carver is stunning, his life was full of strange turns, and his wit and storytelling come alive in this program.” – Globe and Mail Nov 19, 2021 Full Review Fight to the Finish (2020) EDIT “The power and beauty of the special (made by Barry Stevens) is its plain, uncluttered style. Made with naturalistic verve, it allows more than 50 Canadian veterans to share their memories and thoughts.” – Globe and Mail Nov 11, 2021 Full Review
