The story of a group of criminals breaking into an unsuspecting heroine’s house isn’t anything new, but director Randall Okita’s vision makes this See For Me a worthwhile endeavour. Former skier Sophie – a character with her own cunning, thieving side – is a young blind woman cat-sitting in a mansion far from the suburbs.…

Dementia is a disease that can absolutely destroy a family, and this flick doesn’t shy away from that fact. There are silver linings to every situation, and June Again explores them with the verve and grace that should be paid to the subject matter. It follows June – a matriarch stuck in a nursing home…

I’ve been holding fast since the mid-2000s — Ben Affleck is the most underrated, most-often maligned male actor of my time. With the nearly career-ending days of Gigli, Paycheck and Surviving Christmas almost two decades behind us, critics and audiences alike still can’t seem to get around the fact Affleck is, in fact, one hell…

One of the films in 2021 that made me absolutely lose it laughing, this is an animated film that will delight parents and children alike.

The documentary – told entirely through animation – allows some levity to be brought to an intense story through the medium. My pick for animated film of the year, it’s likely to nab some…

This brash, open documentary about Dominatrix culture is one of the most surprising, no-holds-barred flicks I’ve seen in 2021. It follows elite Goddess Alexandra Snow, a renowned fem-dom whose kinky exploits and relationships with clientele have shown she’s a master of her craft. It’s a saucy, sexual film that strikes a balance between shock and…

From the masterful mind of director Guillermo del Toro comes this awe-inspiring, beautiful remake of the classic 1947 film. A tale of intrigue and wondrous, terrifying delight, it follows a carny who manipulatives those he comes across for power and wealth. But when he meets a psychiatrist whose womanly wiles and penchant for chaos matches…

Our hearts collectively broke when Kelly Preston passed. So it was with great anticipation that I waited for her final effort as the wonderful actress she is. The film follows three women in their 50s who go on a European trip with the daughter of their deceased best friend. The deceased leaves rail tickets with…

It’s no secret that one-time Hollywood darling Will Smith has had a hell of a difficult decade. From family drama and teary interviews about wife Jada Pinkett-Smith to his fading star power, it seemed Smith may never reach back up to the heights he was on in the early 2000’s. Movies like After Earth, Suicide…
