That Kind of Summer (2022)

  • Cote, Denis
  • 2022, Canada, Denis Cote
  • Leave a comment

Cote goes for a more naturalistic style in this meandering and ultimately inconsequential attempt at humanising nymphomania, as three hypersexual women reside in a rest home guided by a therapist and her assistant. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 2.5 out of 5.

Boris Without Beatrice (2016)

  • Cote, Denis
  • 2016, Canada, Denis Cote
  • Leave a comment

A filthy rich, cold-hearted and adulterous man hopes that his melancholia-stricken wife will recover as Cote’s intriguing work asks what it means to search one’s own soul.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Joy of Man’s Desiring (2014)

  • Cote, Denis
  • 2014, Canada, Denis Cote, Documentary
  • Leave a comment

Cote makes the monotony of industrial labour poetic and hypnotic in this decent documentary exploration of what ‘work’ and ‘working’ means to the blue-collar fraternity.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Vic + Flo Saw a Bear (2013)

  • Cote, Denis
  • 2013, Canada, Denis Cote
  • Leave a comment

A striking and unconventional film it may be, but Cote doesn’t seem to know what he wants to say with this story of two lesbian ex-convicts futilely hoping for a peaceful life in the woods.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Crimes of the Future (2022)

  • Cronenberg, David
  • 2022, Canada, David Cronenberg, Greece
  • Leave a comment

Cronenberg’s new sci-fi body horror is packed with fascinating ideas, but the film somewhat falls short in its half-baked attempt to realise them.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Breadwinner, The (2017)

  • Others
  • 2017, Canada, Ireland, Nora Twomey
  • 3 Comments

A girl is forced to dress like a boy in Taliban-occupied Afghanistan to help her family make ends meet in this splendidly animated tale that perhaps relies too much on a parallel account of a mythical fantasy to work.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Chloe (2009)

  • Others
  • 2009, Atom Egoyan, Canada, USA
  • 3 Comments

Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried do heat up the screen in this erotic drama about the fears of infidelity, but the mind games under Egoyan’s slick direction don’t always work deeply or satisfyingly. 

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Maelstrom (2000)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2000, Canada, Denis Villeneuve
  • Leave a comment

A talking fish on the chopping board partly narrates this interesting if weird non-linearly-structured sophomore feature by Villeneuve that is tonally all over the place, as it explores how cosmic connections mediate between actions and consequences.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Dune (2021)

  • Villeneuve, Denis
  • 2021, Canada, Denis Villeneuve, USA
  • 5 Comments

A master of the deliberately-paced blockbuster, Villeneuve’s attempt at adapting Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel is admirable in its storytelling clarity and stunning world-building.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Tom at the Farm (2013)

  • Dolan, Xavier
  • 2013, Canada, France, Xavier Dolan
  • Leave a comment

Dolan takes an unexpected left turn with this largely solid suspense-laden drama about grief, death and hidden secrets, with a sprinkle of male-on-male masochism. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
