An Exceptionally Human Film Debate: CODA

This movie, CODA (Child of Deaf Adults), hit us all right in the heart. It’s a story about family, dreams, sacrifice, and the beautiful, messy ways we communicate. Let's dig into the themes that make this film feel so…

Fiume o Morte! plays tonight at VIFF, and it's honestly the film I'm most excited to see. As with every other VIFF film, I try to go in without too much information, so I've only read the short blurb you find at the…

Martin Campbell: Action Genius

It's insane that Martin Campbell directed the 2 best James Bond movies since the original Sean Connery trilogy directed by Terrence Young (amazingly not taggable) - Dr. No, From Russia With Love and Thunderball. Martin…

Okay, I just watched The Nonsense... and I have thoughts.

So this was a movie. That I watched. For VIFF. It wasn't bad… it was just long, and I don't know, I felt like this was one movie that would have worked better as an animation. I mean, they played with the lighting and…

Peter didn't care for the God Father. What popular movie didn't you care for?

Finch & Midland... what's your take on it?

Full disclosure, this wasn't the movie I was planning to go to, but I couldn't get tickets. Finch & Midland was playing 15 minutes later, so I decided I'd stay for it. The only thing I knew about it was that it was a…

Secret Agent is an instant classic

Not gonna lie, I thought it was going to be great. I already knew and loved Kleber Mendonça Filho's previous movies, and Wagner Moura is always amazing. But still, I wasn't ready for how awesome this movie is. So far…

I don't know why Mile End Kicks has mixed feelings!

It's a good, fun movie! Sure, the ending is kinda wobbly, but I still enjoyed it. The old man beside me also very much enjoyed it. Can't a 20-year-old be messy in peace?

Presences

Have you ever felt a presence? Most people have. If a doctor were to give you the answer, the first thing they would say is that it's in your mind. But no, this can be seen, felt, and heard, so it's not something…

After The Hunt - thoughts?

I love that Luca Guadagnino made a Woody Allen movie for the post-MeToo generation that doesn't even like to mention Woody Allen. It's Irrational Man meets Match Point. The response is pretty polarized so far, but I…
