H Is for Hawk (2025) 80% A- EDIT “This lovely film, which arrives with a sterling pedigree, remains faithful to its source material. ” – Original Cin Jan 20, 2026 Full Review Jay Kelly (2025) 75% B- EDIT “Not funny enough to be a biting satire on the absurdity of Hollywood or absorbing enough to be a portrait of regrettable spiritual emptiness, Jay Kelly feels oddly flabby. ” – Original Cin Nov 18, 2025 Full Review Good Fortune (2025) 78% B EDIT “There is joy in seeing this gifted ensemble have fun with their broadly scripted characters with Los Angeles in all its trashy splendour backdropping it all. But this angel comedy doesn’t quite shoot for the heavens. ” – Original Cin Oct 15, 2025 Full Review Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe (2024) 83% B EDIT “It’s not exactly a warts-and-all expose of a life in progress, but the documentary does present Bocelli fans with much to enjoy in both performances and interviews with family members, friends, and the famed Italian tenor himself.” – Original Cin Sep 20, 2025 Full Review Marlee Matlin: Not Alone Anymore (2025) 98% B EDIT “It is, undeniably, a valentine to its subject. But director Shoshannah Stern’s documentary is also a revealing portrait of a genuine trailblazer who advocated tirelessly for Deaf accessibility.” – Original Cin Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Sorry, Baby (2025) 97% A EDIT “Heartbreaking and life-affirming, the feature debut from writer-director-star Eva Victor is a clear announcement of an original new talent and a terrific — and sad and funny and contemplative — testimony about how trauma profoundly stains people’s lives.” – Original Cin Jun 30, 2025 Full Review F1 The Movie (2025) 82% A EDIT “Look past the pervasive crossover marketing and F1 is thrilling from start to finish, its 155-minute running time as slick as the track at Monza in a rainstorm. And just in time for summer.” – Original Cin Jun 25, 2025 Full Review Sharp Corner (2024) 92% B- EDIT “There are some absorbing, uncomfortable ideas and committed performances at play in Nova Scotia writer-director Buxton’s film but it struggles somewhat to define itself.” – Original Cin May 8, 2025 Full Review Another Simple Favor (2025) 58% B+ EDIT “Paul Feig’s follow-up to his A Simple Favor from 2018 is a worthy successor, another twisty, shifty mystery-comedy propelled by sharp dialogue, a touch of glamour, and its very committed leads. ” – Original Cin May 1, 2025 Full Review One to One: John & Yoko (2024) 90% B- EDIT “While this documentary offers an intimate view of the couple’s early 1970s years in New York, it lacks narrative coherence, leaving viewers to navigate its political landscape without content or commentary.” – Original Cin Apr 15, 2025 Full Review Resident Orca (2024) B EDIT “An important film, and a heartbreaking one, about a long-captive orca and the massive efforts of many dedicated humans to return her to the wild.” – Original Cin Apr 10, 2025 Full Review The Luckiest Man in America (2024) 67% B+ EDIT “A terrific cast propels this brisk fact-based drama about a game show swindler and the handwringing TV execs hoping to staunch his streak.” – Original Cin Apr 2, 2025 Full Review This Time Next Year (2024) B- EDIT “A rom com with heart and committed performances that is also blandly familiar.” – Original Cin Mar 6, 2025 Full Review 7 Beats Per Minute (2024) B EDIT “An uncommonly intimate documentary about an extraordinary woman, 7 Beats Per Minute connects the dots between womb and wider world, following its subject as she comes to better understand the contours of her ability.” – Original Cin Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Blue Rodeo: Lost Together (2024) A EDIT “Filled with fond and illuminating talking-head interviews, reams of archival footage and, of course, the inimitable music of its subject, Lost Together is a treat, and an arguably long overdue survey of one of Canada’s most iconic bands.” – Original Cin Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Suze (2023) 100% B+ EDIT “A shamelessly feel-good movie with a truckload of heart that’s buoyed by dynamic, lived-in performances, Suze offers emotional rewards far grander than its simple story might suggest. And it’s an honest pleasure to watch. ” – Original Cin Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Better Man (2024) 89% B- EDIT “Its effects are spectacular but are weighed down by a ho-hum biopic structure that undermines the genius of the film's visuals.” – Original Cin Jan 7, 2025 Full Review Maria (2024) 76% B EDIT “Lovely to look at, and Angelina Jolie is excellent. But Pablo Larrain's portrait of Callas isn't especially revealing.” – Original Cin Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Starring Jerry as Himself (2023) 100% B EDIT “The unusual narrative device at the heart of the film is at once clever and heartbreaking, bringing home an important story about a grimly common form of elder abuse.” – Original Cin Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Music by John Williams (2024) 100% A EDIT “This lovely and highly detailed documentary about Steven Spielberg’s go-to guy for film scores offers an extraordinary glimpse into an extraordinary career.” – Original Cin Nov 2, 2024 Full Review Happy Clothes: A Film About Patricia Field (2023) B EDIT “A more formal narrative structure would have gone a long way in telling the story of American fashion icon Patricia Field. Then again, Field wholly embraces the quirky and by that metric, here gets something in line with her own aesthetic.” – Original Cin Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Blink (2024) 89% A EDIT “A heartfelt and visually gorgeous story about a family coping with an almost unimaginable life-altering challenge.” – Original Cin Oct 3, 2024 Full Review The Fabulous Four (2024) 28% C+ EDIT “It’s not Bridesmaids, but The Fabulous Four has committed performances from its excellent cast and it conveys lovely messages about friendship and female camaraderie. ” – Original Cin Jul 26, 2024 Full Review Twisters (2024) 75% B EDIT “This kind-of sequel to the 1996 hit original is fun, sure, and follows the previous film’s general roadmap while leaning heavily into the impressive special effects. But it’s not nearly as thrilling as it should be. ” – Original Cin Jul 18, 2024 Full Review Widow Clicquot (2023) 80% B EDIT “This lovely, low-key historical drama set and filmed in France is elevated not least because it gives an important historical figure her due.” – Original Cin Jul 18, 2024 Full Review
