Mercy (2026) 24% 2/5 EDIT “Ignore the clunky and rushed ending, and Mercy is almost bearable as a make-dinner-to-this type of movie. But as it reaches its midpoint — and its egregiously stupid finale — Mercy morphs into a bizarre PR campaign for AI.” – CBC News Jan 23, 2026 Full Review 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) 93% 4.5/5 EDIT “[28 Years Later: The Bone Temple] delivers an insightful and original message on the origins of baroque, systematized cruelty, its appetizing value to leaders — and potential strategies to defeat it.” – CBC News Jan 14, 2026 Full Review The Plague (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “The Plague focuses on the unmoored experience of adolescence, the nonexistent logic in growing up and the often unrewarding costs of maintaining what you thought were your principles. And, as The Plague proves, there’s little more horrifying than that. ” – CBC News Jan 9, 2026 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 2.5/5 EDIT “Your ability to remember and understand what’s going on may depend on how familiar you are with the various other stories [Avatar: Fire and Ash] seems to crib from. ” – CBC News Dec 16, 2025 Full Review Merrily We Roll Along (2025) 95% 3.5/5 EDIT “[Merrily We Roll Along] is a musical so scattered and uninterested in commercial viability that it makes scathing criticism of fun, accessible art one of its central themes. In short, it’s fantastic.” – CBC News Dec 5, 2025 Full Review Wicked: For Good (2025) 66% 3/5 EDIT “That's an obstacle Jon M. Chu's [Wicked] has to grapple with... The fact that not only do all the bangers reside in the first half, but so, too, do almost all the actually compelling parts of the story.” – CBC News Nov 18, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% 2/5 EDIT “We already have The Purge at home, Edgar Wright. No need to dress it up as Battle Royale.” – CBC News Nov 17, 2025 Full Review Bugonia (2025) 88% 3/5 EDIT “It’s hard to avoid making more concrete connections [in Bugonia]: that while we want to believe something good, beautiful and ordered can spring from the depths of something dirty, polluted and diseased, it’s more likely a fairy tale. Good luck, everyone!” – CBC News Oct 29, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% 2.5/5 EDIT “While it will likely bring the “Bruce Tramps” into the theatres in droves, Springsteen being a talented artist, sufferer of depression and all-around good guy is not enough to make Deliver Me From Nowhere an interesting film. ” – CBC News Oct 24, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% 2.5/5 EDIT “If you ignore the techno-fetishization and the idea of AI somehow turning into the martyred saviour of mankind, Tron: Ares is slick and exciting enough to entertain. It’s just also kind of evil. Though these days, what that we consume isn’t? ” – CBC News Oct 10, 2025 Full Review The Smashing Machine (2025) 70% 2.5/5 EDIT “[The Smashing Machine amounts] to a lacklustre portrait of a terrible marriage and struggling athlete, without anything revealing or even unique to warrant paying attention. Like Foxcatcher meets Marriage Story, except without the shooter or showtunes. ” – CBC News Oct 3, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% 4/5 EDIT “One Battle After Another's thesis seems to be the darkly comic finding of how inescapable it is for us to rail against the system — to be caught up in an all-consuming explosion of violence, only to be beaten back or killed, miles from any real change.” – CBC News Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Love That Remains (2025) 95% 4.5/5 EDIT “[The Love That Remains] is about how your bravery or cowardice in the face of intimacy will define you through everything; about how being there for people means more than just being there. And, somehow, about bow-and-arrow safety. ” – CBC News Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Blue Heron (2025) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “A dark horse favourite of many critics at this year's [Toronto International Film Festival], Blue Heron is an affecting and delightfully convoluted rumination on memory.” – CBC News Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Christophers (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “[The Christophers] is a story of backstabbing, fraud, criticism — of both the personal and art varieties — and celebrity. But in practice, its superpower is actually in its unambitious simplicity — along with Ian McKellen channelling Jack Sparrow.” – CBC News Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Arco (2025) 91% 4/5 EDIT “Falling right down the middle between being actually for kids versus for their usually bored parents, the story that French illustrator Ugo Bienvenu tells [in Arco] is as important as it is potentially confusing. ” – CBC News Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Ignore the nonsensical criticism of Hamnet being emotionally manipulative — which appears to be a bad-faith synonym for "narratively effective." Instead, it is a window into trauma too terrible to name, and a powerful reinterpretation of the Hamlet myth. ” – CBC News Sep 17, 2025 Full Review The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) 87% 4.5/5 EDIT “Never exalting or denigrating of its central figure, Ann Lee is instead a hallucinatory sort of experience; made by the creators of The Brutalist, it is also unerringly beautiful. Oh, and did we mention it's a musical?” – CBC News Sep 17, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% 4/5 EDIT “Feeling more like disjointed but interdependent parables than anything on the market today, [Rental Family] is also wholly unique and utterly refreshing in scope.” – CBC News Sep 7, 2025 Full Review Steve (2025) 78% 3/5 EDIT “Steve may not be perfect, but none of us are. If we were, we wouldn't need the movie. ” – CBC News Sep 6, 2025 Full Review The Roses (2025) 64% 4/5 EDIT “The Roses is a deeply funny movie — far more light than the squeamishly dour film it's remaking. But beneath the jokes and crab-based puns lies the answer as to why one might risk marriage in an era of skyrocketing divorce rates.” – CBC News Aug 25, 2025 Full Review Ne Zha II (2025) 91% 4.5/5 EDIT “Ne Zha II whipsaws from crisis to crisis like a beaver during flood season. And when the dam finally does break, do the floodwaters ever come: Just try to keep from crying during the heart-piercing curse in the Tianyuan Cauldron. I dare you.” – CBC News Aug 21, 2025 Full Review Highest 2 Lowest (2025) 83% 2/5 EDIT “Highest 2 Lowest doesn't really seem to have a cohesive message. The less charitable take for why that is would be that the interpretation of class and worth Spike Lee does eventually land on is as shallow as it is head-scratching. ” – CBC News Aug 15, 2025 Full Review Freakier Friday (2025) 73% 3.5/5 EDIT “Here and there, a little recession pop escapism never hurts. And I ask, fellow millennials, who better to deliver it than Lindsay Lohan?” – CBC News Aug 8, 2025 Full Review The Naked Gun (2025) 87% 3/5 EDIT “The Naked Gun truly shines when it dares to be new; to play around with even moderately current issues that have nothing to do with the original. ” – CBC News Jul 31, 2025 Full Review
