  Seven Veils 2023

  ★★★½ Watched 05 Mar 2025

  Atom Egoyan’s latest Toronto-set psychodrama is one of his stronger late-career efforts, and it’s worth seeing for Amanda Seyfried’s solid work in the lead.

  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 04 Mar 2025

  Sex, Spies, and Videotape

  Steven Soderbergh’s latest is a sexy spy thriller that is less action film and more marital drama. But the dialogue is often snappy and it’s carried by a tight ensemble cast that keeps the whole thing very entertaining.

  The Life of Chuck 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Sep 2024

  The Life of Chuck is maybe my favourite thing Mike Flanagan has done. It’s incredibly entertaining as it shifts between genres, but deeply moving as well. Tom Hiddleston leads a sequence of pure movie magic in the midsection that is one of the best scenes of the year!

It’s bold, visionary filmmaking, mixing Roman history with New York politics. I will never understand why so many were rooting for this to fail. Plus, seeing it with a TIFF audience and Coppola in attendance was an incredible experience!
