MQFF 2021 Film Review: My Girlfriend is the Revolution
My Girlfriend is the Revolution is growing pains personified.
MQFF 2021 Film Review: Colours of Tobi
Perhaps what director Alexa Bakony does best with her documentary Colours of Tobi, is making us forget that she was even there.
MQFF 2021 Film Review: Dramarama
Director Jonathon Wysocki’s Dramarama set wistfully in 1994, tells the ever-bittersweet story of a group of teenagers, Gene, Ally, Rose, Claire and Oscar, as they have one final night together before they each part ways for college.
Film Review: Little Joe
No film in recent memory has made the experience of sitting with a knot in your stomach so enthralling and intriguing.
Film Review: Minamata
Minamata’s painterly composition paired with its desperate, clawing story of inequality and the exposing of truths creates a multilayered masterpiece that is equal in its depiction of beauty and pain.
Film Review: First Love
Amidst the turbulence and wildness, First Love is fundamentally a story of the quiet good and maniacal evil that inheres in the world.
Film Review: Twist
Don’t immediately write Twist off as just another modern re-telling of a classic, only further proof that the film industry is well and truly out of new and fresh ideas. New and fresh is exactly what director Martin Owen achieves with this re-vamped return to everyone’s favourite orphan (sorry Annie).
