This is not Oscar bait! It’s really great. It’s beautifully shot, contains powerhouse performances and deep themes, but it lacks the self seriousness that ruins “prestige” film. 

At the core of the film is a page turner of a script that plays more as mystery or thriller than drama. It’s a real “film” and also a real “movie” that breathes and allows moments of humor and unexpectedness to break the drudgery, while controlling the literally sequestered world of the movies scale by tantalizingly dribbling info in to the conclave from the outside world. 

The themes under the hood also work so well for the moment. It’s about voting, and it’s about striving for the good and the ideal in a world that is fundamentally gray.

I seeing this at a Chassidic Jewish day camp I was attending at 8 years old and I was instantly obsessed with these characters and this series. Years later, a video production teacher taught a lesson on many of the homages in the series and the styles of lighting that are brilliantly executed in the cinematography. I come back to Wallace and Grommet all the time, and now I got to watch it for the first time with my son. What a joy.

Can this be my dark horse for favorite “Video Game” movie? This film got lost in the wake of the Matrix but it deserves re-evaluation. The vision it presents of how we interact with our digital lives is thought provoking and maybe prescient today. Cronenberg really cooks an interesting one up, and every time you feel this film is starting to miss the mark it will surprise you.

Fascinating story and wonderful portrait of young men trying to better themselves and a system that offers a lifeline then yanks it away.

It’s not often you get to watch a Canadian propaganda film. This 1941 epic is truly unexpected as a travelogue of escaped menacing Nazi’s as they traipse across the great north and meet the varied and proud peoples that make up the Canadian nation. Beautiful location shooting, a happy sense of humor and a quick pace make this surprisingly watchable for a modern eye.

A fantastic B minus of a movie if I ever saw one! Nothing really bad about it, nothing really amazing either… except for the out of this world cast that carry this one. Also Mary Louise Parker is my forever crush.
