TIFF 2017: ‘Pyewacket’ Review
It feels like Adam Macdonald has greatly improved on the tone and stylistic decisions he made on his directorial debut, Backcountry. With Pyewacket, a film about a girl and her friends exploring black magic and Satanism, he is definitely much better at putting together an intense and gritty horror narrative (thanks to its characters) than he is at crafting […]
TIFF 2017: ‘Indian Horse’ Review
Indian Horse tells the story of a boy who’s taken away from his family and thrown into a residential school. He experiences unimaginable horrors in his early years and it’s not until he finds the game of hockey that his life starts to change.

TIFF 2017: ‘Brawl in Cell Block 99’ Review
Craig S. Zahler is back with his first film since the phenomenal Western Bone Tomahawk and man did he knock it out of the park. Brawl in Cell Block 99 follows Bradley (not Brad) who’s played by longtime comedic actor Vince Vaughn. Bradley is a drug runner for his friend Gil because of a need for money to provide […]
‘American Assassin’ Review: A Fine Popcorn Flick
There are really great action movies. And there are some really horrible action movies. And then there’s American Assassin, which isn’t on either end of the spectrum, but sitting pretty at the “it’s fine” marker. Based on the Vince Flynn novel of the same name, American Assassin opens in Ibiza (sans pills and Avicii) where our protagonist, […]
‘Let There Be Light’ Review: Big, Bright and Beautiful
Let There Be Light is an elegant reminder of a distasteful truth: we are yeast. We are continually multiplying while hungrily eating up all the available resources until eventually dying in our own excrement, as physicist Mark Henderson expresses in a grisly metaphor. Thanks to a steady diet of fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution, […]
TIFF 2017: ‘Breathe’ Review
Andy Serkis is finally making his move to behind the camera. Breathe, his directorial debut (even though he actually filmed The Jungle Book first), is a beautiful love story… Wait, no. It’s an inspirational story of perseverance… Actually, maybe it’s a story about living life to its fullest. I’m not quite sure, but I also don’t really […]

TIFF 2017: ‘Of Sheep and Men’ Review
Of Sheep and Men offers a sombre slice-of-life story, shining a light on the lives of sheep in Algeria, and the men who own them. (The documentary fully delivers on the expectations of its title, with sheep occupying almost every single frame.) The men in question are 16-year-old bus conductor Habib, who hopes to train his […]
