Although the movie does feel a bit formulaic, its thrilling race scenes and incredible performances from a cast at the top of their game make it an exciting… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Ford V Ferrari

TIFF Movie Review: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD is a crowd-pleasing movie if I have ever seen one.

The trailer for the film may lead… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

TIFF Movie Review: I Am Woman

I AM WOMAN, directed by Unjoo Moon, is a timely, yet familiar biopic on music legend Helen Reddy and her contribution to the women's liberation movement. It's interesting (and disheartening) to see that many of the issues Helen and her compatriots were fighting for in the '70s and '80s are the same issues we are… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: I Am Woman

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. Across numerous communities,… Continue reading TIFF Movie Review: Boy Erased
