Pearl is a candy-coated piece of rotten fruit. The film, which is director Ti West’s prequel to this year’s X, trades in the desaturated look and 1970s seediness of its parent film for a lurid, Douglas Sirk-inspired aesthetic that seems, at first, to exist incongruently with its story of intense violence and horror. But much […]
If I was an art teacher, I would make “The Colour of Ink” part of my curriculum every year. The documentary, which premieres at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), is one of those humble, understated gems that could easily be missed in the hustle-and-bustle of flashier, sexier films. The subject matter isn’t exactly […]
The idea of a grown man having sex with a teenage girl is disturbing. This is — sort of — the point of “Roost.” I think? It’s never really clear what the thriller is trying to say. To be honest, I may have just missed the memo: partway through this film, my urge to crawl […]
With mainstream anime TV shows and, in this case, movies helping ingrain the genre deeper into the global pop culture sphere, we’ve also been getting a path paved for a welcome dose of refreshing, smaller-scale movies hitting Western theaters.

Pop culture — at least in the Western world — treats pregnancy and early motherhood as a magical time, when back aches and sleepless nights are a mere inconvenience in what is otherwise a fantastic, love-fuelled, once-in-a-lifetime journey. That is bulls***. And with “Baby Ruby,” Bess Wohl is setting the record straight. Premiering at the […]
Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out” was a wonderful breath of fresh air — an original film with a stellar cast and a funny, engrossing mystery with twists and turns. It reminded us that movies could be, ya know, fun. Seemingly the moment the movie ended, audiences wanted more. Specifically, they wanted the return of Benoit Blanc, the gentleman […]
There’s a scene in Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” that hit me like a ton of bricks. Sammy Fabelman (Gabriel LaBelle), a kid who dreams of making movies, has just met his Great Uncle Boris (Judd Hirsch). In his youth, Boris worked in the circus — and in the movies. He’s an artist, and he recognizes that […]
I’d forgive you if you haven’t heard of the Lenovo Slim 9i. Among Lenovo’s many lines and sub-brands of laptops, the name hardly stands out. But as reviewed, it might be one of the most compelling 14-inch clamshell laptops I’ve ever reviewed. That’s thanks to the gorgeous OLED screen, great performance, and a webcam good […]
