There’s a lot of stuff landing this weekend, and the Canadian Screen Awards are Sunday night, so you’ll forgive me for playing the six-word game.
Gringo: No classic, but everyone’s having fun.
The Hurricane Heist: Rob Cohen is back! With action!
Juggernaut: Modest tragedy belabored by artistic pretensions.
Meditation Park: Mina Shum’s back! Still got it. [Susan]
My Enemy, My Brother: Great short doc, even better feature.
The Strangers: Prey at Night: Masked murderers, still out there killin’. [Glenn]
Thoroughbreds: Great cast elevates a familiar story.
Walk with Me: Mindfulness documentary offers space for meditation.
West of the Jordan River: Amos Gitai, Israeli occupation, good times.
A Wrinkle in Time: Ava DuVernay doesn’t quite land it. [Rad]
Oh, and I took a look at Nelly & Simon: Mission Yeti, one of the films playing at TIFF Kids this weekend. It has its moments, I guess.
