2019 in film
We go through 2019, highlighting the films we regret missing and those we loved.
Uncut Gems
Adam Sandler is in one of the best movies of the year- and no, they didn't make a Jake and Jill sequel! We're talking of course about Uncut Gems.
Knives Out
A detective investigates the death of a patriarch of an eccentric, combative family.
Written and directed by Rian Johnson.
Starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, and Ana de Armas.
Jojo Rabbit
Jojo Rabbit has been dividing critics. Although it won the audience choice at TIFF, some feel the lighthearted portrayal of Hitler is in bad taste. Others just find it funny.
The Lighthouse
They both loved the Lighthouse, but Michael could have used a little more guidance into port.
