Boiling Pot (Ashmawey, 2015)

Last updated on: September 30, 2015 at 8:01 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

While it is not as accomplished and polished as Do The Right Thing, The Sixth Sense, or Reservoir Dogs--films that announced the arrival of a major new talent--Boiling Pot is certainly good enough to land the Ashmaweys on my "keep an eye out for what they do next" list. Read more

Honor Thy Father (Matti, 2015)

Last updated on: September 17, 2015 at 2:29 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

The first hour of Erik Matti's Honor Thy Father (★★★★) is so good, so steeped in its time and place, that one can't help but feel a little disappointed that it's second half becomes a fairly conventional heist genre film. Read more

TIFF 2015 — Our Little Sister (Hirokazu Koreeda)

Last updated on: September 13, 2015 at 10:10 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Our Little Sister (★★★★★) is a special film, one that I will return to before the year is over and treasure the memory of as years go by and festivals blur one into another. It is a masterpiece from one of cinema's quiet giants. Read more

TIFF 2015 — The Martian (Ridley Scott)

Last updated on: September 14, 2015 at 6:29 am By Kenneth R. Morefield

TIFF 2015: Demolition (Jean-Marc Vallée)

Last updated on: September 11, 2015 at 8:04 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield
