    ★★★★★

    Stop Making Sense in IMAX is the most fun you can have at the movies. The band's joy and passion to be singing, playing and dancing together is so contagious I don't think I stopped smiling for the whole runtime. This film is the perfect fusion of my love of film and music, it's interesting because I usually find that fusion with soundtracks and scores. I never would've thought to feel that with a concert movie.

    The concert has somewhat…

    I felt somewhat of an emptiness about this film, but I cannot deny the somber aura of the small theatre once the lights came on; pondering melancholy.

    Once realizing that the film is not in real-time, and is being watched back by future Sophie on her young father Callum's old camcorder, it begins to make sense.

    A Difficult Year

    ★★★½

    First movie at TIFF and first movie premiere. Probably my favourite cinema experience ever.

    The director said something that perfectly summarized the film during the Q&A.

    “We don’t try to send a message to the audience, we prefer to put an envelope in your pocket for you to read and interpret for yourself”

    A Difficult Year was a hilarious movie with an interesting concept that delves into the underworld of political protest while being self aware of its absurdity at times. The movie didn’t pick a side, and ended with the perfect “Hoax”, as the director put it.
