TIFF Movie Review: Boy Erased

BOY ERASED, written and directed by Joel Edgerton, is a great movie as much as it is an important one. Tackling the issue of conversion therapy, the film brings a very disturbing subject matter to the forefront, publicizing a horrific experience that too many LGBTQ young people have faced in their lives.

But don't worry, this review is as spoiler free as I can make it. Writer-director David Gordon Green and writers Danny McBride and Jeff Fradley did such… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Halloween

Either way, you… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Outlaw King

TIFF Movie Review: The Mountain Between Us

It's been 20 years since we last saw Kate Winslet in a romance-disaster movie…trying to survive, yet freezing to death beside a handsome love interest. But don't worry, in THE MOUNTAIN BETWEEN US Kate's vying for Idris Elba's affection (lucky girl)… and the "will they, won't they" does not feature our heroes attempting to fit… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: The Mountain Between Us
