    Review: Wildlife

    by Andrew Parker January 3, 2019
    by Andrew Parker January 3, 2019

    Although it looked for quite some time like it would never see the light of day in Toronto area theatres, actor turned filmmaker Paul Dano’s exceptional directorial debut Wildlife, one of the best films of 2018, finally gets its proper due with a run at TIFF Bell Lightbox.

    Review: ‘Okja,’ starring Tilda Swinton and Jake Gyllenhaal

    by Andrew Parker June 23, 2017
    by Andrew Parker June 23, 2017

    Korean filmmaker Bong Joon Ho delivers another fantastical allegory with Okja, following similarly themed, but perhaps more action packed efforts like The Host and Snowpiercer. While those films were a lot darker and more relentless in their approach and aims, don’t let Okja’s overall gentility and flashes of kindness fool you. This is just as cutting, biting, and insightful as his previous works. It’s still not a subtle effort, and a lot of the messages can easily be seen on the film’s surface without much digging or unpacking, but that approach works well with Joon Ho’s tendency towards science fiction and the ethereal.

    Film review: ‘Looper’ starring Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt

    by W. Andrew Powell September 28, 2012
    by W. Andrew Powell September 28, 2012

    Rian Johnson just became one of my favourite directors, and all it took was one film. Johnson’s two previous films certainly impressed me, but Looper is a step forward for the writer and director. It’s a film that draws you in with the characters on an intimate level as hell starts to break loose, and despite the topic, it’s also a film that takes the story to heart.
