Whose Streets?

Noemi Berkowitz / August 7, 2017

Review: Whose Streets? is more the story of a people than of individuals

Whose Streets? is a documentary about on-the-ground activism in the Ferguson uprising by filmmakers Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis.

An Inconvenient Sequel, Bonni Cohen, Jon Shenk

Alex Heeney / July 26, 2017

Sundance review: An Inconvenient Sequel never proves necessary

An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power is an unsatisfying followup to An Inconvenient Truth, more interested in Al Gore himself than the multi-faceted approaches needed to mitigate climate change.

Beguiled, Sofia Coppola

Mary Angela Rowe / June 30, 2017

Review: Grace and violence mingle in The Beguiled

In Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled, violence erupts in Miss Martha’s seminary, poorly-defended citadel of virtue, but the women never lose their poise.

Mary Angela Rowe / June 22, 2017

Review: The Bad Batch is frustratingly undercooked

Ana Lily Amirpour’s wasteland survival story, The Bad Batch raises a lot of issues while never quite getting to its point.

Female directors TIFF, Sami Blood

Alex Heeney / May 31, 2017

Review: In Sami Blood, an Indigenous Swedish girl is caught between two worlds

Amanda Kernell’s Sami Blood is an astonishingly accomplished and movie feature debut, which follows an Indigenous Swedish girl caught between two worlds. Read our interview with writer-director Amanda Kernell. Read our review of Kernell’s second feature, Charter.

Still from Marcela Said's Los Perros

Elena Lazic / May 25, 2017

Review: In Marcela Said’s Los Perros, the personal is political

Los Perros fearlessly reveals the dilemma for women forced to choose between a desire to do whatever they want, and a desire to be recognised as political individuals.
