Review: The Harder They Fall

“It is as though you are transported through time; immersed in the environment of ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly’.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Films about the Vietnam War

“The Deer Hunter and Apocalypse Now dealt with the Vietnam war but from different perspectives.” – Blair Campbell

Categories Blair Campbell

Review: 2001: A Space Odyssey

“In 1968, I was 12 years old and one day I went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey with my dad.” – Blair Campbell

Categories Blair Campbell

Review: The Flexed Arm Hang (2nd Review)

“The short is a very charming watch, as it portrays these small time, low stake events during school, as these death defying, leaps of faith where everything is on the line.” – Angus Luff

Categories Angus Luff

Review: Mute

“I love a good mystery, and I highly recommend Mute to anyone who feels the same – and the best part? You get answers.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Pinball & Perogies (2nd Review)

“It’s a well-directed short feature by Sammy J. Lewis, and the attention to detail and compelling narrative make it a great watch.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Camp Tipsy

“The film is rich in themes of family, regret, addiction and moving on, and it conveys so much without actually showing or saying very much. ” – Angus Luff

Categories Angus Luff

Review: The Debate

“It’s an intriguing and confusing viewing experience, and I highly recommend it. The sound design is especially beautiful.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: The Flexed Arm Hang

“The short film has such depth and character, you can’t help but fall in love with it.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Seeking Oblivion

“It’s about human flaws, dumb decisions and forgiveness. Seeking Oblivion captures how needlessly awful life is for Jeremy, even when he’s doing his best and doing all the right things.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Pinball & Perogies

“If you’ve ever had good memories at TARG, then this doc is for you.” – Angus Luff

Categories Angus Luff

Review: death isn’t the same anymore

“This auditory cinepoem can be felt with all the senses. It feels cold. It feels lonely. It’s complex and skillfully mapped.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Dirt Town

“Dirt Town uses a good amount of dirtiness and grime in its colour grading, and it’s representative of where the characters are headed, where the story goes.” – Alvin Tsang

Categories Alvin Tsang

Review: Tessellate

“Jacobsen conveys how the individuals want to be perfect; their ‘imperfection breeds desire.’ They are rewired to conceal their flaws and characteristics in order to become better people. – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: World of The Fluffs

“Chaisi Glover’s World Of The Fluffs is a delightful animated feature that is inspired by a very real, and unfortunate habit.” – Catharine Horsley

Categories Catharine Horsley

Review: i hope they remember my name

“I hope they remember my name is a timely film that paints an intimate portrait of the potential effects of social media on mental wellbeing.” – Rachel Loewen
