Review: A Safe Distance is a throwback crime thriller with a killer soundtrack (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We open on some picturesque shots of a B.C. forest. Then, a gunshot rings out. “What do we do now?” asks a bloodied Alex (Bethany Brown) to someone offscreen. We then jump back in time to see Alex arrive on a camping trip with boyfriend Joey (Chris McNally). The film is a contemplative crime thriller in the vein of something like Love Lies Bleeding, except fully set in the B.C. wilderness. Yes, it’s strange to have the likes of Salmon Arm namechecked, because films that are as impeccably shot an
John Turturro steals the scene in The Only Living Pickpocket in New York (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TORONTO—It’s hard to imagine almost any John Turturro role being played by someone else. Could another actor have pulled on Jesus Quintana’s purple jumpsuit in The Big Lebowski? Or played the streetwise Joey Knish in Rounders? How about the titular whip-smart playwright in Barton Fink, or his more recent TV roles, like the forlorn lawyer with an unforgettable monologue in The Night Of, or the tortured Irving Bailiff in Severance? But Turturro’s latest, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, per
Review: Ladies and Gentlemen, Brian Mulroney is a delicious piece of absurdist Canadiana (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The winner of TIFF’s Midnight Madness fan vote very much lives up to that distinction, as it is both fantastic and completely bananas. Canadian director Matthew Rankin is known for his absurdist films, and that’s no different here as he turns his attention to former prime minister Brian Mulroney. Rankin chronicles the Progressive Conservative’s rise to power with equal parts humour and impending doom. The National Film Board production is unapologetically a piece of fucked-up Canadiana, complete
Review: Run Terry Run finds new perspectives on a legendary story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hamilton director Sean Menard had a seemingly impossible task with this documentary: how does one find more to say about the legend that is Terry Fox? What more is there to say that people in this country, many of whom grew up participating in annual Terry Fox runs and hearing about him in school assemblies, might find illuminating? The answer is to go more intimate than anyone has before. Menard employs a variety of illuminating voices as narrators. That includes Terry’s brother Darrell Fox, as
Review: The Debut hinges on a terrific performance by Julianne Moore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Fittingly opening VIFF, actor-turned-writer/director Jesse Eisenberg’s third feature film is a stunner, centred around a performance by Julianne Moore that is an absolute lock to see Oscar buzz. Moore plays Mona, a bored and unsatisfied New Jersey housewife who auditions for a role in a theatre production helmed by local legend Jerry (Paul Giamatti at his finest). There is a scene near the middle of the film that makes the performance and the movie itself. In the pantheon of great character mome
