4/5
EDIT
“While this avant garde lark may not be up everyone's alley, it's a riotous detour around tired Hollywood formulae; and it is, most certainly, a trip.” –

Jeune Juliette (2019)
4/5
EDIT
“Colourful, kooky and cool, Jeune Juliette is a delight that deserves your time and attention, and blows the playing field wide open for Émond.” –

Under the Silver Lake (2018)

3/5
EDIT
“Mitchell doesn't seem to know what he wants. And by setting up the pieces and then getting distracted by the lint in his navel, he ends up with an initially beguiling film that turns out to be a narcissistic bore.” –

“The acting is solid all around, with Manovici offering a dazzlingly nuanced performance mingling innocence, charisma and deer-in-the-headlights desperation.” –

The Devil's Share (2017)
4/5
EDIT
“It's a richly evocative celluloid collage, which flits left and right, goes here, there and everywhere to look at the multiple, conflicting and conflicted identities of this place called home.” –

Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary (2016)

The Beekeeper and His Son (2016)
3.5/5
EDIT
“The Beekeeper and His Son is a compelling micro-drama. At first glance, there seems to be little going on, but over the course of the film's 85 minutes, Diedie Weng pulls you in.” –

Miséricorde (2016)
3/5
EDIT
“It's a thriller that never fully takes off, and a staggered drama that takes a few too many detours. But the former documentary director's heart is in the right place, and in its final act his story achieves a tempered sense of resolution.” –

X500 (2016)
3.5/5
EDIT
“A visceral contemplation of youth forced into adulthood, each character adopting a new identity as part of a new crew, or makeshift family, as a means of survival.” –

“All the while, solemn though he is here, the director has fun with it. And that is what ultimately makes Frantz, despite its slow pace and occasional lulls, a pleasure to watch.” –

Afterimage (2016)

2.5/4
EDIT
“Afterimage is not particularly noteworthy as a cinematic experience unto itself. However as an earnest adieu from an acclaimed filmmaker with some 50 titles to his credit, it's entirely honourable.” –

“Ultimately, Dotan's thought-provoking film succeeds by never getting bogged down in heavy history of the conflict, but using it to offer perspective to the situation in its present day.” –

Polina (2016)

“Saving things, somewhat, is the dancing. Even Binoche and Schneider get in on the action as the filmmakers flesh out their flawed story of a talented young woman in search of her own voice.” –

Angry Inuk (2016)

3.5/5
EDIT
“From the outset of Alethea Arnaquq-Baril's eye-opening documentary Angry Inuk, it is clear that this is going to be a different take on seal hunting than the one that has dominated the mainstream conversation over the past four decades.” –
