TIFF 2020: Penguin Bloom Review

While Naomi Watts delivers a captivating performance, it can’t save Penguin Bloom from feeling much more than a shallow family film that oozes wasted potential.

A wonderfully realized work of revenge horror that captures the dread, anxiety, and isolation of assault; it is just a shame odd structural choices hold Violation back from greatness.

TIFF 2020: Good Joe Bell Review

While not a perfect film in any regard, Good Joe Bell works as a story of acceptance, pain and regret, and the price we all must pay should we neglect the ones we love in favour of bigotry.

September 26, 2020September 21, 2020 by Brendan Frye
TIFF 2020: Shadow in the Cloud Review 1

Shadow in the Cloud is a good concept that is lost under a lackluster script, but for people needing a b-movie flick, there are worse options out there.

Fantasia Festival 2020: The Dark and the Wicked Review 4

The Dark and the Wicked is a deeply nihilistic take on family suffering, grief and loss that will eat away all traces of hope, as it envelops you in the brutality of its world.
